    We already know that hundreds of people have died at that and other facilities like it:

    And those are just the ones rights groups know about.

    Just think about it. You throw people in there in horrendously overcrowded conditions and explicitly tell them that they will never be released. Have you seen the photos? Dozens of people in big open cages, very few guards to keep an eye on them. The prisoners in there have nothing to lose. What exactly is the punishment if one prisoner kills another? Do you think a guard is going to be able to intervene in time if one inmate decides to strangle another? Do you think the guards that work at a place that imprison people for life without trial even give a damn?

    Just use some common sense. How could such a facility end up anything but a blood bath? That is the entire point of a concentration camp like this. It’s a way for the state to mass execute people with plausible deniability. You deliberately create the conditions where mass death is inevitable and then blame the prisoners when the inevitable happens.
