On record, it was called Unit 2915, Korean People’s Security Guard, but it was also called Control Center No. 15. This Yodok PPC originated from the radio speech by Kim Il-sung to all members of the Party in July, 1969.” (Kim Yong-sun, former prisoner from Ipsok and Yongpyong-ni, PPC No. 15) “I did not know where I was. I heard the name of Yodok for the first time from people there after my arrival. I also learned that I was in Taesuk-ni. I did not know the official name of it. I remember reading a sign, “Taesuk-ni Farm, Yodok County.” Some people said it has a military title but I have never read it anywhere. I learned from the families of the prisoners that they had lived in Ipsok-ni in the beginning and had been there over 10 years. I guess they were there before 1985. A prisoner by the name of a Kim remembered Kang Chul-hwan in Ipsok-ni. The prisoner said he and his father were detained there because of the offence by his paternal uncle. I spent a lot of time with them as we were in the same work unit. His father made carts for cows. In South Korea, I asked Kang Chul-hwan if he knew the man I met in the Yodok PPC. Kang said he remembered him. I don’t know how old the Taesuk-ni facility is. All I know is that the families of prisoners in Taesuk-ni were relocated and settled elsewhere in July of 1995. I think I was told that half of them were released and the other half were sent to other places such as Yongpyong. I learned this later. When they were released, some families and the Koreans from Japan I know were resettled somewhere in Kowon County, together with former SSA officials who escorted them to the new location of settlement on their release.” (A12, former prisoner, from Taesuk-ni, PPC No. 15 1994~1997) 49
