Labor and thought reform

Labor and thought reform
This exhibition area gives realistic depiction of the hard labor and classroom instruction for thought reform – the daily images of concentration life.
Through showing of short video clips and explanatory photos, as well as computer information available at the information station, visitors may know the real face of history.
The authorities managing the New Life Correction Center camp made certain that the inmates were kept fully occupied with hard labor and thought-reform instruction so as time them out physically and mentally. Nonetheless their talents were able to shine forth.





Based on the case files, this exhibition shows the various charges by which the victims of an abnormal martial law system were sentenced to prison, along with photos of the file documents. In the movie zone, visitors can get a deeper understanding of how the victims pined for their relatives












While at hard labor, some inmates were able to write. Tu Nan-shan, for example, completed his Chinese translation of the Japanese Life of Jesus, tucked it away in a grass hut, and upon his release from prison took the draft back to Taiwan for publication.



At right, heavy labor consisted of breaking up and transporting reef rock for construction projects, remnants of which are still to be seen along the Park's shoreline. Many different fruits and vegetables were grown by the prisoners, using hand-fashioned tools seen in the lower right photo.
