System Context & Human Rights Documentation
Correctional re-education facilities (kyohwaso) like Kyo-hwa-so No. 2, Dongrim house individuals sentenced through the formal criminal system for offenses including illegal economic activity, cross-border smuggling, viewing foreign media, or attempting to escape into China.
