Workshops

The workshops were part of the prison complex but cordoned off with barbed wire. They included an automobile repair shop with garages, a carpentry workshop, a blacksmith workshop including a foundry and welding shop, a painting workshop, and multiple junk storage areas. To the right of the gate building was another smaller complex of workshops, which housed the central offices of the technical department, an electronics workshop, a locksmith shop, and a screw and nail production.

During the initial months of the camp, inmates were used to clear and repair buildings. A number of them worked outside the camp on farms or in procuring wood. Later, only a small minority of the inmates were allowed to work.
