Prisons in North Korea have come under immense scrutiny for poor living and working conditions. A significant number of inmates perish every year, many of whom are subjected to torture and inhumane treatment. Public and secret executions of inmates, including children, especially in cases of attempted escape, are commonplace. Infanticides are also a frequent occurrence. The mortality rate is exceptionally high, because many prisoners die of starvation, illnesses, work accidents, or torture.
