3) The Supervisor; Rules and Regulations for Prisoners Within the PPC, internal rules and regulations are strictly enforced to enhance smooth operation. PPC rules and regulations clearly illustrate the kind of life prisoners live in the camp as well as how strictly the prisoners must observe them. The rules and regulations of the PPC can be divided into those pertaining to the PPC operators and others that the prisoners must observe. The survey reveals that PPC rules and regulations for administrators prohibit them from having any private contacts and/or emotional involvement with prisoners. Rules and regulations for prisoners appear to vary according to the PPC, but generally they are harsh and more severe than those pertaining to personnel operating the PPC. Shin Dong-hyuk, former prisoner from the maximum-security camp in Kaechon, Camp No. 14, has provided us with 10 basic rules and regulations for all prisoners, as follows: 1.

Prisoners must immediately report to PPC authorities the sighting of strangers or any suspicious person. 6. Prisoners must monitor other prisoners and immediately report any of their suspicious actions. 7. Prisoners must exceed work quotas. 8. Male-female individual contact is strictly forbidden outside the worksite. 9. Prisoners must acknowledge and thoroughly repent of mistakes. 10. Prisoners are subject to immediate execution by gunshot for violations of rules and regulations of the Control Center. Each rule above has three to five supplementary rules and, therefore, the actual number of rules exceeds 50.

A child could not go home from school if a failure to memorize the rules occurred.30 Regulations by PPC are as follows: “Whenever a prisoner encounters a guard or SSA officer in the camp, the prisoner must stop his/her work and acknowledge the 30 Shin Dong-hyuk, “NK Maximum-security Camp Coming to Outside World,” Seoul, NKDB, camp rules and regulations in detail appear pp.58-62. 89
