Until November 1938 the concentration camps were primarily for:

  1. Communists
  2. Social Democrats
  3. Other dissidents

Often people who had given personal offence to Nazi party bosses were sent there too.

What were the conditions in the concentration camps How were they different from extermination camps?

Concentration camps were designed primarily for the detention of political prisoners, forced labor, and the imprisonment of various targeted groups, often under brutal conditions characterized by overcrowding, inadequate food, and poor sanitation. In contrast, extermination camps were specifically built for mass murder, employing gas chambers and other means to systematically kill large numbers of people, primarily Jews during the Holocaust. While both types of camps were horrific, extermination camps had a singular focus on extermination, whereas concentration camps also involved forced labor and imprisonment with the intent to exploit rather than immediately kill.

Technically all camps were within the concentration camp system, there were labour camps, transit camps and extermination camps.

They were much smaller than the average concentration camps (Auschwitz is an exception as it was both), as they only held enough inmates that were needed to opperate the gas chambers/vans and the cramatoria.
