About
Quite a lot of attention was paid to hygiene in the Gulag camps. Among other reasons, this was done in order to prevent infections or outbreaks of lice and other parasite infestations. (Of course, this was not always successful; the prisoners often only changed clothes for the winter and the summer.) Consequently, a hut with a bath and laundry was an integral part of every camp that had facilities.
