Much has been written about the laogai (sometimes likened to the Soviet gulag) in the People's Republic of China. Depending on the source, the prisons are described as nonexistent, enlightened institutions, or hellish places that subject the inmates to degradation and misery. The system is commonly thought of (by admirers and critics alike) as having a measurable impact on the national economy and providing significant resources to the state. Based on research in classified documents and extensive interviews with former prisoners, judicial personnel, and other insiders, and featuring case studies dealing with the three northwestern provinces, this book examines such assertions on the basis of the facts about this underexamined subject in order to arrive at a detailed, objective, and realistic picture of the situation. In the case of each province under study, the authors discuss the history of the provincial prison system and the impact that each has had at the macro, meso, and micro levels.

Excerpt from Chinese Prison System, "Laogai" Hearing Before the Subcommittee on International Operations and Human Rights of the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, April 3, 1995 All Laogai prisoners are forced to labor to compel reform and be come new socialist persons. New arrivals are subject to immediate, daily, lengthy integration sessions and forced to admit their crimes. These sessions may last days, weeks, or months. In some cases, they last years. The official Laogai policy is reform first, production second. The prisoners of the Laogai face constant brainwashing. The value sys tem of the society as a whole has no place in the Laogai. The pris oner is stripped of his morals, his beliefs, his religions, his individ ual will, his sense of right or wrong. They are encouraged to stand together with the Government and denounce their crimes. They are completely retrained to follow the moral order of the Communist Party and its society. If a prisoner resists, he or She is tortured. There is much evi dence coming to light that thought reform is less and less success ful. This apparently persuaded the Laogai officials to rely more and more on physical torture. This situation is understandable as it be comes clear that even the Communists no longer believe their own ideology. But struggle meetings are still held. Mao Tse Tung's teachings are still used and those that Show a poor political attitude are beat en. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

China is the only major world power to have entered the twenty-first century with a thriving prison camp network—a frightening, mostly hidden realm known since 1951 as the laogai system. This book, the most comprehensive study of China's prison camps to date, draws from a wide range of primary sources, including many compelling literary documents, to illuminate life inside China's prison camps. Focusing mainly on the second half of the twentieth century, Philip F. Williams and Yenna Wu outline the evolution of the laogai system, construct a vivid picture of prisoners' lives from arrest and interrogation to release, and provide a troubling new perspective on the human rights issues plaguing China.

Many human rights groups allege that the use of forced labor is a common and established practice in China. They assert that products of this forced labor are exported to other countries and that a substantial portion is sent to the United States. The Commission heard testimony that prisoners in China are incarcerated for their political views or because of their religious beliefs. Human rights groups have reported that conditions in the forced labor facilities are brutal, that medical care is poor and that workplace conditions are generally exhausting and dangerous. According to the Laogai Research Foundation, China's prison systems (Laogai) are an integral part of the national economy. That Foundation claims to have documented nearly 100-forced labor camps, producing $800 million in sales, and contends that the number of such camps probably numbers well over 1,000. It further contends that goods from Laogai are being imported into the U.S. The Chinese government maintains that products made by forced labor are not exported from China to the United States.

Wu, himself a prisoner in the Chinese laogai (forced labor camps) for 19 years, presents a well-documented analysis of the several thousand laogai where an estimated 16-20 million Chinese, perhaps 10% of them political offenders, labor on prison farms, and in factories and workshops, in a harsh atmosphere permeated by sadism, torture, and malnutrition. He provides the most comprehensive documentation of where and how China handles its prisons, and of the part played by prison labor -- a source of reliable and cheap production -- in China1s surge into the international market economy. Illustrated.
