> Also they are concentration camps by any reasonable definition of the term Here's a reasonable definition [0]: A camp where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners, prisoners of war, refugees etc., are detained for the purpose of confining them in one place, typically with inadequate or inhumane facilities. [from 19th c.] Yes, large numbers of people are being detained, but no, the purpose of the detention is not to confine them. The camps are a confinement only for the impracticality of detaining large numbers of people in small buildings, in the same way as jails. And again like jails, the people are being detained because they (or their only companion, in the case of dependents) were caught in the commission of a crime. They are jails at most, and as far as I can tell, you can leave at basically any time. [0]: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/concentration_camp https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/concentration_camp
