Kwan-li-so (penal labour colony) No. 15 Yodok (/ˈjoʊdʌk, -dɒk, -doʊk/; Korean pronunciation: [jo.dʌ̹k̚]); Chosŏn'gŭl: 요덕 제15호 관리소), often known outside North Korea as Yodok concentration camp, was a political prison camp in North Korea located in South Hamgyong Province. The camp was used to segregate those seen as enemies of the state, punish them for political misdemeanors, and put them to hard labour. It was closed down in 2014.
