Camp 22 (also called Hoeryong concentration camp or Haengyong concentration camp) is a political prison camp in North Korea. The official name is Kwan-li-so (penal labor colony) No. 22. The camp is a maximum security area, completely isolated from the outside world. Prisoners and their families are held in lifelong detention.
Detailed analysis of satellite images in October 2012 suggests the camp is still operational despite earlier reports of its closure.

Famous quotes containing the word camp:
“If all would lead their lives in love like me,
Then bloody swords and armor should not be;
No drum nor trumpet peaceful sleeps should move,
Unless alarm came from the camp of love.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
