Terminal re-education



N. Korea cuts re-education camp sentences to reduce death count

The changes "focus on releasing prisoners into society through pardons as soon as possible so that they don't die in the camps," a source told Daily NK

A change in re-education camp regulations last year was aimed at reducing the number of deaths in the camps by returning inmates to society as quickly as possible, Daily NK has learned.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a source in North Korea told Daily NK last Wednesday that the authorities conducted a general review of conditions in re-education camps nationwide last March. “In June, the camps received an order ratified by the Supreme Leader [Kim] and implemented the amended regulations on shortening sentences in July,” he said.


Strewth, things aren't so bad here after all. At least we'll probably have the opportunity to snigger at Keir Starmer trying to be Prime Minister. 

Presumably.

Ah, yes. Or as we would call it "Care in the Community."
What care?
What Community?

Doonhamer - yes, the word 'community' is everywhere, perhaps because it means so little, or often nothing at all.
