A '''concentration camp''' is a generally brutal type of camp that has inmates that are generally persecuted. Most are either because of race, ethnicity, or sexuality. Just as many will be put in a concentration camp due to not following a government rule or being a prisoner of war (POW). Sometimes they are also known as '''labor camps''', '''internment camps''', or '''prison camps'''.

*Concentration camps were widely used during the Brazilian military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985.

*During [[World War I]], internment camps were set up, mostly for Serbs and other pro-Kingdom of Serbia supporters; the radical pan-Serbian [[Black Hand]] having played a role in the [[assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand]] resulting in the outbreak of World War I. Citizens deemed enemies of the state were displaced from their homes and sent to camps throughout the Austria-Hungary Empire, to places such as Doboj (46,000), Arad, Győr and Neusiedl am See.

*The [[State Peace and Development Council]] made use of concentration camps during its rule of Burma from 1988 to 2011, particularly during [[Than Shwe]]'s leadership.
