Yodok concentration camp (/ˈjdʌk, -dɒk, -dk/; Korean pronunciation: [jo.dʌ̹k̚])[a] was a kwalliso in North Korea. The official name was Kwan-li-so (penal labour colony) No. 15. The camp was used to segregate those seen as enemies of the state, punish them for political misdemeanors,[1] and put them to hard labour.[2][3] It was closed down in 2014.[4][5]
