I feel like the distinction between a concentration camp and an internment camp is often just a technicality. If you look up definitions and comparisons you find them often interchangeable, with people tending to want to use "internment" as a "nicer" version of the same thing since the Nazi concentration camps come with a particularly horrible (the holocaust) distinction.

But, generally speaking, they are kind of the same thing with semantics in play.
I guess thats true. In my head, I always link concentration camp, at least in common parlance, with extermination. And internment more for imprisonment. And a gulag for forced labor. But I know I'm missing the nuances. I just meant in the common colloquial usage. But thats a good point, I'm glad you pointed that out.

There was a prison stock I looked at buying during Trump's first term.
I think China recently surpassed the US in number of prisoners. Crazy.
