Labor camps are facilities where people are forced to work under harsh conditions, often without proper pay or rights. These camps have been used throughout history, particularly during times of war or political unrest. In many cases, individuals in labor camps are prisoners or marginalized groups, such as political dissidents or ethnic minorities, who are subjected to grueling tasks and poor living conditions. The purpose of labor camps can vary, but they often aim to exploit the labor of individuals for economic gain or to punish those deemed undesirable by the state. Notable examples include the Nazi concentration camps during World War II, where millions suffered and died while being forced to work for the regime's war efforts.
