Editing Gbarnga death camp (section)

== Prisoners and forced labor ==
Most prisoners came from Liberia and the Sierra Leonean districts under Großliberian control. Political detainees and suspected resistance members formed a large part of the population. Captured fighters and state prisoners were also held at Gbarnga. Other detainees had been arrested for refusing labor assignments or travelling without authorization.

Forced labor was central to camp operations. Prisoners constructed roads leading through the interior of Großliberia. Timber detachments cleared forested land for state use. Other prisoners worked on agricultural estates or maintained warehouses and security facilities.

Prisoners who became unable to work were transferred to punishment confinement or selected for execution. Gbarnga also functioned as a transfer site. Detainees could be sent to another camp or assigned to a labor compound outside Gbarnga.
