5. Some punishments go on for generations
Besides the fact that if you don’t behave the way the glorious Kims want you to, you can be executed in a variety of creative ways, there are also 16 labor camps in North Korea where over 200,000 prisoners are held in captivity and forced to do hard labor for minor mistakes. The worst part is that these punishments sometimes span decades, and hence, generations, meaning that if you are punished for a crime, your grandchildren could likely still be paying the price. Take the instance of this prisoner who escaped from a camp after 23 hard years.
