Here's a great website that focuses and highlights much of the activity that goes on in the North and shells out daily content. When it came to prison camps back in Kim Il Sung's, all it took was an allegation of wrongdoing or anti-state activity no matter how small and then not only the person who committed the alleged wrongdoing but also all their family members (siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins) would be simultaneously rounded up and dispatched to serve extensive periods in these camps, and in many cases for the rest of their lives. This isn't like prison in the US where you have a roommate and get to shower, eat and watch tv all day long. In North Korea, these people would be worked to death from early in the morning til late in the evening followed by loyalty sessions afterwards. IIRC, I read somewhere where these prisoners would get the equivalent of 2-3 meals a day but they only consisted of ~4 ounces of rice or corn meal each - hardly enough to sustain anyone doing so much work on a daily basis. Also, these people were treated like animals and beaten in the most uncivilized ways, forced abortions, the list goes on.
