No way that camp could be holding 200,000 people. Anyone who has studied any geography could see that would be near impossible.

There's more that one camp.

  If you watched the video they said it was all in 2 valleys. 200,000 in those two valleys? Impossible.

    Sadly, I fear it is possible if you are squeezing 50 of them into a room designed for 5 people and feeding them tiny portions of corn meal each day.

      It would have to be more densely populated than the center of Hong Kong. This town/prison/concentration camp/detention center (or two valleys) would be lucky to have 10,000 people. We better not let the facts get in the way of chance to bash North Korea.

    I estimate roughly around 500 small housing units from what I've seen. The smallest units are about 60*30feet in size. For a slave labor camp, it would be easy to fit 100 people in each unit with two story bunk beds. That's already 50,000 people. The units may be more crammed than I imagine, and I may have missed miscounted these housing units. 200K sounds like an upper limit but it's not impossible.

      And it's generous for you to assume that they even get to sleep alone in 'beds'

Ohio Stadium[1] comfortably holds over 100,000 people in the bleachers alone. In 2003 nearby Lane Ave, two blocks north of the stadium, was closed to traffic on game days due to construction on a new bridge. That street easily held a half million people on the half-mile stretch between High St. and the Olentangy River.
