Reply #3: I'm sorry, but I vehemently object to the term "death camp"

[Selatius]

Those prisons are not murder machines, assembly lines of death. They are prisons that are poorly run and maintained. They are not camps to house people for gassing and termination, and I would argue with anybody who would compare the two. Are they both horrific? Yes, but one was established with the explicit purpose of annihilating opposition and erasing an entire group of people off the face of earth, while the latter was built for a totally different reason.
