The North Korean government uses concentration camps to keep their citizens under control. The government has created an illusion, and an entire history where facts have been created and changed, as to teach it's people that North Korea is a blessed land and the dictator is the blessed leader. Anytime a citizen is thought to have doubted the things that the government teaches, either complaining about food shortages, speaking against the government, or practising christian beliefs; they and their family are taken to a concentration camp. The concentration camps then serve the government as a place where these "criminals" can be watched closely and monitored. The government uses these people to do most, if not all, of the production that comes from N.K. They are given minimal food and shelter and a new set of "clothes" once a year.

Criminals get sent to prison in every country. Nothing special about N.Korea, except that the criminals there are said to be heroes fighting the 'evil communists', as eloquently ranted by CNN.
