    No, they were also for reactionaries and other criminals, it's literally just the name of the soviet prison bureau.

    The gulag system was also way more humane than the modern prison system in the US.

        This is why one of the first books I always recommend to new leftists is Blood In My Eye. The US prison system is one of seral focal points for revolutionary organizing. Almost everyone knows someone who went to prison.
