That's the whole point. Calling them "Gulags" or "Labor/reeducation Camps" is intentionally meant to obfuscate the issue. Gulags are what you call prisons in countries where freedom is outlawed and everyone in them is locked up for purely made up political reasons. As opposed to our incredibly humane detention centers where you are only locked up for breaking the "laws" which are good and just and completely common sense in every way and not at all politically or financially motivated.
Less people died in gulags during the 30ish years they existed and were harsh than Americans have died due to lack of access to healthcare over the past 40 years lol

Also the USSR abolished the gulags, the USA has expanded prisons.

Gotta make it sound foreign and thus scary. Like 'oligarch'.
