Camp 14 Slavery

Did you know that there is something like modern slavery today still in North Korea? In North Korea there is something called “3 generation of punishment.” If someone in a North Korean family does something wrong, their family and them would be sent to Camp 14. There they would make them work for them just like the slaves in the Antebellum South. In Camp 14, they would be called a prisoner instead of a slave.

The slaves and prisoners were both punished if caught doing something wrong. If the slaves in the Antebellum South were caught doing something bad, they would be beaten or sold.
