Labor camps in your nation

[Christian Dominion]

Does your nation send criminals to labor camps?

We do, for unrepented sins that don't require the death penalty.

[Maraque]

Community service sentences are handed out fairly commonly, although it is by no means a labor camp... that is illegal.

[Valiquette]

Does your nation send criminals to labor camps?

No, and yes. We do not have dedicated work camps, per se, but inmates in many of the nation's prisons are required to perform menial tasks while serving their assigned sentences.

None of this is useless labor, though. They make clothes, grow food, harvest fields, bury the indigent, and so on.

[Xrus]

I concur

[Charlotte Ryberg]

The closest there is to Minoa is community service, but as with most European countries it is productive and there is no torture allowed.

[Fatatatutti]

Criminals in Fatatatutti are rehabilitated. They work in the community to pay their own way and to make resitution, if possible. They are expected to attend counciling sessions and they are supervised to some extent. The goal is to make them better citizens, not worse.

[The Glorious Combine]

Combine Code

Subsection 2, Protocol 1a
Citizens that have broken any petty laws from the Combine's Code, will be taken to the local MetroPolice station and branded on the arm with the Combine Insignia. This mark states that all store and/or shopkeepers must restrict goods sold to this Citizen, and the Landlord must evict said Citizen from their home.

Citizens that have broken any laws from the Combine's Code, will be sent to the nearest internment camp, where they will spend 20 years harvesting Iron or Copper from deep mines. Once said citizen is released, they will be moved to a Prison City, where the guards can take control of said citizen's life.

Citizens that have broken any major laws fromt he Combine's Code, will be publicly put to death via Manhacks, and the body shall not recieve burial.

[Stachland]

The term "labor camp" has a negative connotation that does not fit for our nations. We do have criminals perform community service as a means of serving their sentence, and they'll stay at certain centers while they perform it, but the centers are actually rather pleasant.

[A Ant]

Whenever a person breaks the unspecified mutually agreed code of conduct (laws are tyrannical statist constructs) they are shamed by the community into attending the people's anarchist community reparations facility (prisons are tyrannical statist constructs). They are encouraged (use of force is a tyrannical statist construct) at gunpoint to work for an undescribed period of time (time limits and specifications are tyrannical statist constructs) by the people's anarchist community freedom force (armies are tyrannical statist constructs).

Labour camps are a tyrannical statist construct so obviously we don't have them here.

[Imeriata]

slave and non-human villages could be seen as this even if they are closer to medieval serfs.

[Seperate Vermont]

Community service sentences are handed out fairly commonly, although it is by no means a labor camp... that is illegal.

[Saurisisia]

We don't have labor camps per se, but the facilities on the industrial worlds where the labor slaves (criminals, Nazi, Human Supremacist, and Communist POWs) are forced to work in the factories and mines could probably count.

[Thurask]

Prisons are more or less colossal work camps, for what better way to be punished yet be productive at the same time?

[Mount Shavano]

We don't even really have prisons. We run on a restitution system. While that could conceivably include penal servitude*, we don't have "work to death" camps of any sort.

*Generally, the individual in question would forfeit a portion of their salary annually until paid up, while working at least a semi-regular job.

[Old Beringia]

"Don't pay your taxes? Have you been sending in you're payments late? How about that damn awful late fee? Well rejoice! For the Empire will wipe away your debts with a few trips to the Paradise Heights Labor Camp!"

[Chatoyante]

Several small labor camps exist in Chatoyante, shrouded by secrecy in a remote mountainous area.

Depending on the political climate of the week, the Chatoyanti government may send citizens there for the smallest crime or feel especially generous and let hundreds of inmates go free. Currently, the only people sent to labor camps are violent, anti-royalist dissenters.

[Whiskey Hill]

we do not.

[Dagnia]

Yes, the prisoners often do productive work to pay back their victims or their victim's family. Conditions are harsh, but some bare standards of humane treatment are met.

[Kalaspia-Shimarata]

We do send criminals to labor camps. Other than that, labor camps are illegal!

[The Supreme Truth]

In the Supreme Truth all citizens who dare misbehave or speak out against the regime are either executed or sent to one of the country's many "reeducation camps." The few people that have managed to escape from these facilities report harsh conditions and brutal human rights violations including rape and experimentation.

[New Korean Union]

Within the Juche-Socialist Korean Union, labor camps are legal for the most notorious and dangerous of criminals. As opposed to putting these people to death we put them to work, building railroads, mining for minerals, as well as other laborous jobs in order to stimulate the economy for little cost.

[Marlencom]

We have Corrective Labor Camps.

There are currently 958 labor camps around the nation utilizing 31,686,300 laborers.

Most inmates are not political prisoners, although the political prisoner population is always significant. People could be imprisoned in a Corrective Labor Camp for crimes such as petty theft, unexcused absences from work, and anti-government jokes. About half of the political prisoners are sent to prison camps without trial.

The laborers perform labor intensive tasks in construction, mining, logging etc. As punishment they are banned from using electrical machinery. To provide incentives for work, the prisoners' food, clothing, housing and healthcare is rationed based on the percentage of required work performed.

The convicts in such camps were actively involved in all kinds of labor with one of them being logging. The working territory of logging presented by itself a square and was surrounded by forest clearing. Thus, all attempts to exit or escape from it are well observed from the four towers set at each of its corners. During the transfer of the territory on the adjacent lot two of the towers were left in place and the other pair was reset at the new place. In such manner a new territory for logging was created. For the reason not to carry the tools to the living quarters and then back the very next day after a 12-hour shift, the guards let workers to leave them at a job site hidden. This is allowed, however, not out of humane intentions; it simply gives the guards an excuse to shoot the worker who is sent the next morning for the tools which are, of course, set beyond the logging territory as attempting to commit an escape. When investigating the shooting of these "escaping" prisoners, the position of the dead body is the only factor considered. That the body would lay with its feet to the camp and its head away from it was considered sufficient evidence of an escape attempt. As a result, it is common practice for the guards to simply adjust the position of the body after killing a "runner" to ensure that the killing would be declared justified. Money rewards are given to any guards who shot an escaping prisoner, and this reward was frequently divided between the guard who sent the "runner" out of the logging territory and the guard who shot him.

32.08% of the prisoners do not live to their release date. Of those, less than 1% received life sentences. Upon release, all prisoners are banned from living in major cities, and politicals are banned from working for the government or commanding heights of industry. Politicals are required to wear ankle bracelets to monitor their movement and have strict curfew to adhere to (they are banned from public between 7 pm and 7 am). Going outside of permitted zones, or violating curfew results in a sentence that is double the original sentence they served.

There are special less labor intensive camps for women and children.

About 40% of the Marlencomian economy is supported by these camps.

[Sungai Pusat]

We don't have labo(u)r camps.

[Snake South Amerika]

While Snake South Amerika abolished the death penalty, we have here a punishment which can be considered worse by many: the Slave Prisons. There are sent our worst criminals for the rest of their existance: rapists, murderors, counterfeiters, corrupt politicians, dethroned foreign tyrants, posers and such. As many powerful and influent bad guys are found there, prisoners are not allowed to talk to each other, and they must toll in the labor camps(quarries, surface mines, cash-crop farms, some base industries) there to receive their food and clothers and be allowed to sleep under the roof of cells. Those who don't comply with their quota are beaten by the guards and ordered to the "cage": a square fence where they are exposed to the elements and such, with a rocky floor.

Since justice can actually commit mistakes, this is a reversible punishment if the felon is found to be innocent, unlike limb amputation or death. And a lot more economical, since prisoners must sustain themselves and do not bear the cost of welfare that would have to be provided to a maimed person or the huge judicial costs of a execution. Also, the Paragominas Quarry Prison produces some of the finest stones and sand glass to build our awesome skyscrapers.

[The Moor Guy]

We have labor camps for atheists (we dislike non-state religions), homosexuals (really, what could wrong by packing a bunch of sweaty men in a small space?) and Communists (let's see their god Marx help them now!).
