North Korean Gulag


North Korea is well-renowned for its gulags, where there are over 200,000 prisoners being held across the small country.  What has become of concern to human rights watchers is the fact that the latest images of one of the gulags shows that the perimeter of the camp has far exceeded the camp boundary and now encompasses some steep terrain and a small town.  This area now encompasses a 12.5 mile perimeter around the camp. What this tightened security will do to the prisoners inside will have to take a backseat to a bigger concern with the North Korean regime - its mad dash to attain a nuclear stronghold.
