Where Love
The North Korean Political Prison Camp is a huge place of exile where the
political prisoners considered as threat to its regime are isolated from society.
The North Korean regime established 10 camps, and after a process of closure
Does Not Exist and integration, 6 camps are still in operation, holding approximately 150,000
prisoners as of today. Most do not survive and return from their time, and prisoners
are daily subjected to 12 hours of forced labour and various forms of violence and
torture to death.
SAGE prepared this exhibition gather hearts wanting to solve the North Korean
human right issues, no longer through the lenses of political ideologies, but just
as it is. Perhaps the dispute on ideological differences of the left and right wings
whiles political prisoners are facing the worst abuse of human rights imaginable is
a luxury we simply cannot afford.
In this particular exhibition, we focused on presenting the simple, yet profound
truth. As you closely read on, the truths that are on display will begin to speak to
you, asking you to look at and not forget the place where love does not exist.
We hope that the very dialogue will continue to echo in your lives.

cal penal-labor colony where the political prisoners are isolated
from society with their three generation together and are pun-
ished through forced labor until their death. In North Korea, the
political enemy is considered as threat to its regime such as anti-
communists, capitalists, Christians, and recently defectors.
In South Korea, those camps are referred to as political prison
camps, but in North Korea, they are known to ‘kwan-li-so’ or ‘the
completely control district.’
The North Korean regime established camps in 1947, and af-
ter a process of establishment and relocation, closure and in-
tegration, 6 are in operation as of today. The Gaechon(#14),
Yoduk(#15), Hwasung(#16), Pukchang(#18), Hoeryong(#22),
and Chongjin(#25) political prison camps currently keep about
154,000 people in the camps according to the recent report of
government.

carrying out their sentence.
The North Korean political prison camps are for life imprisonment.
However, the Yoduk political prison camp (the Camp #15) is
divided into sections called the complete control districts where
the sentences are lifetime and the revolutionizing district from
which prisoners eventually can be released.
Since any judicial procedure shall not be provided the suspicious

Control revolutionizing district cannot know of their sentence.

Districts Complete control districts are life imprisonment facilitiesthat do
not educate prisoners on the ideology of Il- Sung Kim and Jong-
Il Kim, but are only taught minimal knowledge such as skills
required for mining and farming. Once imprisoned, no one can
return to society, and the prisoner is subjected to merciless forced
labour in mines and lumber camps until he or she dies.
