I feel for those 21 who were recaptured. I doubt that the NK government will be very sympathetic.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Hmm... Sounds like there's space available in a Communist gulag...
Any chance we can make reservations for the Democratic Caucus?
No, wait... They'd be invited to live in the Presidential Palace, since they're fellows and comrades.
Oh well, so much for that idea.
Okay, all humor aside - when are the Democrats going to stop pretending that North Korea is a peaceful, freedom loving nation? Same goes for Iran, China, and Syria. Being a credible political dissenter in any of those nations can be a hazard to one's health.

I just searched (unsuccessfully) for a story I read a few months ago here.
Paraphrasing, the Chinese regularly return escapees to North Korea. The practice in NK is to herd returned prisoners together by stabbing a steel cable under their collarbone right through their bodies.
The story I read was of a woman who requested only a comb and some water, just before her transfer at a border bridge. Said that she wanted to go to heaven with dignity.
I am quite certain she made it.

To be caught, means death by
particularly cruel torture...
better to die, than be caught.

According to those who were once in such a camp, N. Korea's camp for political prisoners are different from an ordinary prison. It is located in the remote mountain area, and resembles like a village. Its area is as large as a few villages put together. To prevent escape, it is surrounded with wire fences at 2~3 meter high. There are guard towers and guards are on watch for 24 hours. In addition to guards, there are 'search squads' around a camp, and people in its neighborhood are given awards for turning in escapees.
This is exactly how many Soviet GULAGs worked. Godspeed to the escapees.
