Prisoners at Camp Andersonville were forced to perform hard labor, such as constructing fortifications for the Confederate army, digging trenches, and building structures within the camp. The harsh conditions and heavy workload led to high mortality rates among the prisoners.
Yes, typically prisoners are allowed to wear socks as part of their clothing. However, some prisons may have specific rules or restrictions on the type or color of socks that can be worn. It is best to check with the specific prison's guidelines for more information.
In the United States, incarcerated individuals generally receive extremely low wages, often ranging from a few cents to a few dollars per hour, for their labor in prison jobs. These wages vary depending on the state and the type of work. In some cases, prisoners may not receive any monetary compensation at all.
The exact amount of time a federal prisoner must serve varies depending on the type of crime committed and the sentence imposed by the court. Generally, federal prisoners must serve at least 85% of their sentence before becoming eligible for release, but this can be affected by factors such as good behavior credits and participation in rehabilitation programs.

The prisoners in Buchenwald came from many places throughout Europe. People from Poland and Slovenia but also many religious and political prisoners, Gypsies (Roma), homosexuals, Jews and prisoners of war. Buchenwald was mainly for housing forced labour for armament factories. The ending of the war did not mean the end of the camp as the Soviet Union used it to house more than 28,000 prisoners between 1945 and 1950.
A Concentration camp was used to torture or force their prisoners to work. An extermination camp was where they were all systematically murdered in mass quantities, and in horrific ways. (An extermination camp was also known as a death camp.) I hope this helps you.
Amersfoort was a Nazi concentration camp. Between 1941 and 1945 there were over 35,000 prisoners that were kept in the camp.
Where prisoners were forced to march toward a concentration camp or other prison type facility where they were to be executed. Anyone who fell behind or was not well enough to walk was executed on the spot, often being beaten to death. Those who made it to the prison camp were starved or given very minimal food rations then they were worked to death or executed.
Mostly Jews but their was same normal polish civilians who looked jewish
At Mauthausen concentration camp prisoners were forced to climb the 186 steps with large blocks of granite on their backs often the blocks would fall, crushing limbs and bodies of those following, sometimes killing and often having a domino effect. Those who made it to the top were forced to jump from the edge of the quarry to their death below known as the "parachute jump".
A labor camp was a place that made you work to death not immediately but slowly.Labour camps, are as it says camps used for labour.These particular camps were greatly used during wars. Adolf Hitler was a big supporter of Labour camps, and so was the U.S (sadley) when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. The Labour Camps consisted of work, work, work, cold showers, bitter food, well barley any food, and work. No clean clothes were given out unless someone died and still those clothes were never washed. Labour camps were a brutal and devastating thing to happen but they did, and some people who survived them are still living as though they were their today.Forced labor camps are where the prisoners in the camp are forced to work. These prisoners may be prisoners of war (illegal by Geneva Convention), political prisoners, ordinary criminals, etc.A labour camp was a place where the Nazi's sent the Jews to work for themselves they would make Jews make things like rubber and weapons such as bullets and ammunition,and also military tanks. They made the Jew's work for military and government reasons! :DA labour camp was set up by the Nazis to house the Jewish Slaves who worked for free as prisoners in war manufacturing places and other companies or on roads or railroads. They were worked to death literally. The Death Camps were for extermination of millions of Jews and other undesirable peoples, they killed five million of those people. I have added a link with another good explanation.
Chelmno was an extermination camp and not a forced labour camp. In other words. most prisoners were gassed as soon as practical after their arrival. In Chełmno (or Kulmhof, in german) there were two groups called "Sonderkommando" (Special Command) and "Waldkommando" (Forest Command), both in a total of about 60 Jews. They were responsible for taking the corpses out of the gas vans to Rzuchowski Forest and digging huge graves to burry and burn them. They were also responsible for taking gold teeth and any other valuable items off of the dead jews. The SS officers often killed members of Sonderkommando and Waldkommando to replace them for other men who arrived later at Chełmno.
No. It depended on the type of camp they were sent to ... At extermination camps, such as Treblinka a very small number of new arrivals were selected to help with the extermination process itself and the rest were, indeed, gassed (or shot) as soon as practical. At 'ordinary concentration camps' the prisoners were forced to do slave labour. Auschwitz was the only complex of camps to conduct routine, large-scale 'selections'. Please see the related question.

Belzec was an extermination camp.
Auschwitz I was the original Auschwitz camp, set up in May 1940, mainly for Polish political prisoners and the Polish elites. It also housed the main administrative offices for the whole complex of camps as well as the blocks where medical experiments were carried out, and execution chambers.
