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.

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.

Hearings about the continued production of goods by forced labor in prisons and in the Laogai, the so-called reform-through-labor camps, maintained by the Government of 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.

Even in the twenty-first century, the contemporary Chinese prison camp remains a more obscure and poorly understood realm than the Forbidden City of old. Apolitical service organizations such as the International Red Cross have routinely been denied access to PRC prison camps and prison camp inmates who have smuggled out frank, unofficial accounts of their incarceration have only been published overseas, and often had their sentences extended as a result. Presenting extensive analysis of literary and biographical accounts, this illuminating book provides a window to the affective side and emotional tenor of day-to-day life in modern day labour camps. With contributions from well-known and respected scholars, the book covers the contentious issues of prison economics, prisoner 'remolding' and post-traumatic stress disorder. Drawing parallels with Soviet, Nazi and Japanese prison camp practice, this outstanding new book will be invaluable to those interested in how the human mind responds to extremity, as well as to scholars of Chinese history, politics, literature and sociology.

In this work, the author reveals the hidden world of the "laogaidui" - the PRC's labour reform camps. The author, a political prisoner for 19 years, takes the reader through the harsh reality found in the camps, describing their ideological origins, complex structures and living conditions. What makes the PRC's "laogaidui" unique, according to Wu, is the essential contribution to China's GNP of the commodities produced by the prisoners and the camps' concomitant indispensability to the nation's economic health.
