Gulag- GU implying Criminal police- and the Germanic Lag- for camp- were prison camps in remote areas- they were certainly not intended for children, but mainly Political prisoners who were assigned all sorts of heavy tasks and abuse by guards was common. Most inmates were in for political offenses- such as distributing leaflets in front of a govenment building- that could get you hard time- as it was in front of , say the Kremlin, this would be a (Political) crime- and upriver you go.
