But of course. Any threat to the state,criminals or POW. Of course they aren't mistreated inhumanly, but they are treated as prisoners. Ones who have shown good behavior or have committed less serious crimes are granted less pain staking hard work but they are still required to perform tasks. The jobs mostly things like license plates,some military hardware and undesirable jobs for the general populace.

Criminals are all put to work as a form of punishment to pay off their crimes. This can all range from community service, making objects, etc. All together it helps pay off the amount of money it costs to keep them imprisoned, yet also serves as a tool of punishment to them.

Technically, no. People convicted of non-political crimes are imprisoned (but they are put to work while in prison, usually making license plates and performing similar tasks).

People convicted of political crimes are imprisoned in concentration camps (which are not anything like the ones in Nazi Germany; these are simply prisons that have much lower hygiene, much smaller cells, etc. than normal prisons).

All inmates in concentration camps are kept in solitary confinement in an extremely small cell; they are forced to stand 20 hours a day, and are only allowed to sleep for 4 hours (on a hard, damp, filthy floor, with no mattress, pillow, or blanket). They are given two meals a day (each consisting of a piece of soggy bread and a glass of dirty water). Whereas people in normal prisons are allowed visits from family members, allowed to shower twice a week, are rarely tortured, and are given medical attention if they are sick, prisoners in concentration camps are given none of these things. Although technically illegal, torture is very regularly practiced in the concentration camps, with the tacit approval of the government. SAVAK agents from Parthia and Gestapo agents from Herminia instruct concentration camp guards and teach them the most effective and brutal methods of torture.

Labor camps are used to reeducate capitalists and other simpletons.

This is exactly why we don't have such camps. We are not barbarians who seek to "reeducate" those who do not think like the majority of us.

Players who complain about the inexperience of newcomers, but will only take part in an RP if it is closed, are a HUGE part of the problem they are complaining about.

The penal factory system could be considered this, but they're really more like walled cities, each housing millions of convicts, with a total population of roughly one hundred million. It's formally considered a type of vocational rehabilitation, where the criminal learns valuable job skills and the joys of hard work.

Virtually everyone who breaks the law will end up in one.

Criminals convicted of misdemeanors and minor crimes are, barring any unusual circumstances, generally sentenced to community service or menial work without pay to cover restitution for their crimes. Those convicted of felonies and major crimes are sent to "Factories" where they are put to work in any number of occupations, again without pay. The Factories are quite similar to the workplaces of many government-sponsored industrial jobs, the main difference being that the occupants of Factories are confined there--their workplace is their prison. Treatment of criminals is humane and their dignity respected; guards and wardens who violate this policy are likely to end up on the other side of the law.

The closest we have is community service.

Labor camps exist in Ucumay because there are only 3 punishment methods. Labor camp (which double as prison), fines, and death.

Yes we do. It is much better to force them to give back to our society then to just let them stay in their prison cells doing nothing at the tax payers expense.

The Federal Republic has a number of concentration camps dotted around the country. Socialists, Communists, Gypsies and those disloyal to the Emperor are often sent to these camps to perform a variety of labour tasks, when they are too ill to perform any further use to the state they are executed.

The prisons run by The Federation of Intescien States could be compared to labor camps quite closely.

They are humane, if the prisoner cooperates, but not particularly comfortable and the inmates are expected to work hard on a variety of tasks which benefit the society they damaged. Failure to comply results in food being withheld, ultimately leading to the death of the inmate if they persist with their uncooperative attitude.

This being said, they do receive rehabilitation in addition to there jobs. The hope is to re integrate them with society. Only minor crimes are placed in these facilities. Serious crimes such as murder and rape receive the death penalty, those who commit these crimes are no longer welcome in our society.
