“The Control Center is comprised of a headquarters village, No.1 Valley, No. 2 Valley, No. 3 Valley, No. 4 Valley and No. 5 Valley. There are about 100 houses for SSA officers’ families in PPC No. 14, two families at each house for a total of 200 SSA officers’ families. Four prisoners’ families lived in a house and there were 160 families in my village. On average, each prisoner’s family was a mother and a child, two persons per each family. Additionally, there are a large number of factories and the total number of prisoners was estimated to be 70,000 to 100,000 by many prisoners. But my estimate is about 50,000.” (Shin Dong-hyuk, former prisoner from PPC No. 14) “I do not know the size of the entire population but there were at least 200 prisoners in the 1st Company and 2nd Company I was with.” (A04, former prisoner from Sorimchon, PPC No. 15, 2002~2005) “There were offices for administration, houses for SSA officers (in charge of security), and a dining room, a hall with a capacity of 200 people, a clinic and a plaza inside the wall and surrounded by barbed wire. There was a ward for patients, men and women’s toilets at the other side of the plaza. Additionally, there was a ward for outpatients, a separate patients’ ward for the 1st Company and 2nd Company. Half of the patient’s ward tor the 2nd Company was for women. The patient’s ward was a single storey made from earthen bricks with tiles on the roof. There was a mountain behind and around the patient’s wards and there were guard posts at the peak of the mountain. The maximum-security camp could be supervised from a considerable distance, from the top of the mountain. I was told that a high-security camp used to be inside that maximumsecurity camp. At that time, there were 150 male patients at the 1st Company Ward and 25 women patients.” (A06, former prisoner from Sorimchon, Camp No. 15, 2003~2006) 54
