    a punishment cell in an Arctic prison colony

      Gulag is a labor camp, we don’t know for sure this is a labor camp, it might just be solitary confident and torture.

        Gulag was just the prison system of the early USSR, they weren’t labour camps anymore than USA prisons are labour camps.
