In the evil den that is Heigemu Forced Labour Camp, the food and living conditions were horrible.

Besides the horrid living conditions, we were forced to do 10 hours of labour every day. To do the labour, we were forced to sit in a dark, cold workroom for a long time and no one was allowed to move or talk. If one couldn't finish the task, one had to work overtime.
