*In [[Francisco Franco|Francoist Spain]] between 1936 and 1947, concentration camps were created and coordinated by the ''Servicio de Colonias Penitenciarias Militarizadas''. Inmates of these concentration camps were republican ex-combatants of the Spanish Republican Army, Spanish Republican Air Force or the Spanish Republican Navy, as well as political dissidents, homosexuals, and regular convicts.

*Concentration camps were operated by the [[Young Turks]] during the [[Armenian Genocide]] to eliminate Armenians who survived death marches through deserts.

*In South Vietnam, the government of [[Ngô Đình Diệm]] countered North Vietnamese subversion (including the assassination of over 450 South Vietnamese officials in 1956) by detaining tens of thousands of suspected ~~[[communist]]s~~ in "political re-education centers." This was a ruthless program that incarcerated many non-communists, although it was also successful at curtailing communist activity in the country, if only for a time. The North Vietnamese government claimed that over 65,000 individuals were incarcerated and 2,148 killed in the process by November 1957, although these figures may be exaggerated.
