The emergence of labour camps in Shandong province,
1942-1950
This article analyses the emergence of labour camps in the CCP base
area of Shandong province from 1942 to 1950. By using original
archival material, it provides a detailed understanding of the
concrete workings of the penal system in a specific region, thus
giving flesh and bone to the more general story of the prison in
China. It also shows that in response to military instability,
organizational problems and scarce resources, the local CCP in
Shandong abandoned the idea of using prisons (jiansuo) to confine
convicts much earlier than the Yan'an authorities, moving towards a
system of mobile labour teams and camps dispersed throughout the
countryside which displayed many of the key hallmarks of the
post-1949 laogai. Local authorities continued to place faith in a
penal philosophy of reformation (ganhua) which was shared by
nationalists and communists, but shifted the moral space where
reformation should be carried out from the prison to the labour
camp, thus introducing a major break in the history of confinement
in 20th-century China.
