In concentration camps the prisoners were housed mainly in low wooden huts (often referred to as 'barracks') and had to sleep in shared wooden bunks. They had to work very long hours (up to 11 hours a day, six days a week) on very little food (and no pay apart from the occasional low value 'bonus coupon' at some camps). The camps were run by the SS who were ardent believers in physical punishment. If the prisoners did not work to the satisfaction of the guards they were usually whipped (25 lashes on the bare back) ... For disobeying the guards there were harsher punishments.
