New Life Correction Center (1951-1965) Exhibition Area Brief Guide The NewLifeCorrectionCenter was organized into three brigades, each comprising four squadrons. The quarters of the Third Brigade (squadrons 9 through 12) have been recently rebuilt, and now serve as exhibition center to show the living conditions of the New Lifers at the time. The museum’s use of the structure to reconstruct history using eyewitness reports and official documents is a long, ongoing project. The Third Brigade cell block, completed in 2008, and the opening of the exhibition centered on the NewLifeCorrectionCenter, are the partial concrete fruits of the planning of the GreenIslandHumanRightsMemorial Park and researching of historical materials beginning in 2001.
