They were known as '''Military Units to Aid Production''', or '''UMAPs'''. The UMAP camps served as a form of alternative civilian service for Cubans who could not serve in the military due to being, conscientious objectors, Christians and other religious people, homosexuals, or political enemies of Castro or his communist revolution.

*During his rule in Yugoslavia, [[Josip Broz Tito|Tito]] sent his political opponents to Goli Otok, an island in Adriatic Sea which served as a big concentration camp.

*Since ~~2014~~, the [[Communist Party of China]] has been imprisoning Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang province in what they describe as "re-education camps".

*During the rule of the [[National Reorganization Process]] military junta in Argentina during the [[Cold War]], there were over 300 places throughout the country that served as secret detention centers, where people were interrogated, tortured, and killed. Prisoners were often forced to hand and sign over property, in acts of individual, rather than official and systematic, corruption. Small children who were taken with their relatives, and babies born to female prisoners later killed, were frequently given for adoption to politically acceptable, often military, families. There was a total of 340 secret detention centers all over the country's territory.

*[[Lothar von Trotha]] interred the Herero and Nama peoples in concentration camps during the German Empire's colonial rule of South West Africa from 1904 to 1908.
