Answer 1

Concentration Camps
(Konzentrationslager; KL), places of detention where people were imprisoned often under barbaric conditions. They were a repressive feature of the Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945. The camps were under the jurisdiction of the SS and Heinrich Himmler.
Initially established to house political prisoners, they evolved into an elaborate camp system. Although the term is sometimes used generically to designate all Nazi camps, there were distinctions between them. The extensive camp system included forced labor camps (Arbeitslager), prisoner-of-war camps (Kriegsgefangenlager) and extermination camps (Vernichtungslager). There were almost three thousand camps in the vast camp system established across Europe.

Concentration camps contained political opponents, Communists, Jews, Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses, male homosexuals, and common criminals. The Jews and the Roma, having been selected for eventual extermination, received the worst treatment. Also selected for extermination were certain groups of Soviet prisoners-of-war.

Each category of prisoner had different conditions of imprisonment which affected their chances for survival. In the camp hierarchy the common criminals and the political prisoners got the best treatment. The different categories were identified by color badges worn on the prisoners' clothes. Yellow triangles were for Jews.

Certain features were common to all camps: Violations of orders were punished severely by beatings or torture. Prisoners were also liable to be beaten for no reason at all. Kapos, chosen from the ranks of common criminals or political prisoners, were assigned to supervise their fellow inmates. They were often as brutal as the guards. Guards and Kapos might bribed with cigarettes, food or gold, if prisoners could get these contraband items through their camp jobs or connections. Roll calls which could last many hours were a daily feature of camp life and were held outdoors in all kinds of weather. Roll calls were especially feared by the Jewish prisoners because they would sometimes be accompanied by selections where the weaker prisoners would be culled for extermination.

Food was inadequate and many prisoners were in advanced states of starvation. The morning meal was a kind of ersatz coffee and a small ration of bread. A watery turnip or cabbage soup would be the midday meal. The evening meal might be a repetition of the morning. Survival might depend on augmenting the standard food rations by bribery or by "connections" or by holding a special job in the camp kitchen, in the camp hospital, or in camp administration. Many camps did not provide adequate fresh water and the water was polluted.

The prisoners slept on hard boards in tiered bunks in poorly ventilated barracks. Overcrowding added to the misery. If the prisoners were assigned to work, it was often to dangerous and exhausting labor. The accusation of sabotage was punishable by death. In penal sections the work might consist of meaningless tasks, such as moving rocks from one place to another.

Illness was rampant, particularly dysentery, typhus, scabies and tuberculosis. If the camp had a hospital, it was dangerous to go there because there were frequent selections. Lice were impossible to keep under control as there was no soap and little water to wash with. In those camps where uniforms were assigned, they were the characteristic blue and grey striped jacket and trousers or striped dress. No underwear was issued. Many prisoners succumbed to the ill treatment and lack of food. If they died at work, their bodies had to be carried back for the evening roll call. Many would be found dead in the morning having died during the night. Some prisoners committed suicide, the most common method being to touch the electrified barbed wires that surrounded many camps.

The prisoners who survived the camp experience in addition to plain luck usually had some sustaining reason to keep them going. Often that reason would be another prisoner who was a comrade or a relative who could be depended upon and with whom one shared food and information. Or the reason might be to rejoin loved ones after the war. After liberation many survivors suffered from what today has become known as post-traumatic shock syndrome. Psychiatric problems, nervousness and recurrent nightmares were frequent symptoms.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted.

Yes. They can in the rest of Europe, the coalition government doesn't like it but they're consulting on it because the European Court of Human Rights has forced them to, and they're still citizens even though imprisoned. Being deprived of the vote only tells prisoners they should be even more disengaged from "society". They've got a view too - and a rather more well-informed one on what prisons should be like than the majority who've never been in one. The usual argument "they gave up that right when they committed a crime" doesn't hold water. Should that apply to any other rights we have as citizens? Like the right to a fair trial? There are also many offenders who received a fine or a community sentence instead. Because they're still living "in the community", they still have the vote. Why should the decision of a judge or bench of magistrates to sentence to prison rather than to a community order make any difference to the right to vote? Not allowing prisoners to vote makes even less sense when you consider British sentencing. Prison sentences of less than a year mean automatic release half way through, and fixed-length sentences of more than a year mean automatic conditional release half way through, the other half being served "on licence" - probation with conditions. Break any of the licence conditions and they go back to prison again "on recall". (For completeness, a life sentence does mean life because after release, a "lifer" has a licence for the rest of his or her life, so will never get out of being supervised by probation or being subject to recall.) Once a prisoner is released, they are still serving their sentence but they become allowed to vote again. Is that logical?
