There was no rule for what they had to do each time, some places would have them sing, there was a band playing by the gate at Auschwitz for people returning from work.
Both the Axis powers and the allies used concentration camps of different sizes during WWII. There were at least 1200 in German controlled areas, and hundreds under each rule, ran by Japanese, Russians, British and US military/authorities.The biggest known camp in Europe was Auschwitz II-Birkenau, that was an extermination camp, with over 100000 living in the camp.In small camp there could be only dozens of prisoners.
Prisoners in concentration camps were often forced to work long hours, typically ranging from 10 to 16 hours a day, under brutal conditions. The exact hours varied depending on the camp and the type of labor required, but the work was grueling and relentless, with little regard for the health or safety of the inmates. Many prisoners were subjected to exhaustion, malnutrition, and harsh treatment, leading to high mortality rates.
In the Dachau concentration camp, multiple prisoners were often crammed into a single room, with around 30 to 50 people typically assigned to each barrack. The overcrowded conditions meant that many inmates slept on narrow wooden bunks, often with little room to move and limited access to basic sanitation. This contributed to the spread of disease and harsh living conditions within the camp.
The size of concentration camps varied greatly across Europe. There were many concentration camps in Germany, the most well-known being Auschwitz. Auschwitz had over 100 thousand prisoners, but other concentration camps had as many as 1 thousand prisoners to tens of thousands.

And by supervise, I mostly mean beat without reason and out of sheer cruelty order them around like slaves.
