"Make It Impossible for Those Who Are Detained to Come Out"

April 06, 2006 |   By a Dafa practitioner in Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net) The guard said, "We don't want to abuse Falun Gong practitioners. We know that Falun Gong practitioners are the nicest people, but the government heavily pressured the prisons again and again, saying that we were too soft toward Falun Gong, saying that it's a class struggle between the Party and Falun Gong and that we must be ruthless toward you guys. You see, the foundation for the prison building is growing deeper and deeper, the new buildings are much better looking than the old ones, but the cruelty toward those held inside is getting worse and worse. The central government directly allocated funds repeatedly to expand the prison and required us to add many modern torture tools. Many people, including us guards, feel such tremendous pressure that we almost cannot go on any longer."

------------------

Agents from the wicked Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had illegally sentenced me to prison. I was held at the Shanxi Province Women's Prison, located at Maoerling in Yuci City, Shanxi Province. Its public name is Shanxi Province Chemical Factory. I want to provide some information to help the investigation of concentration camps the CCP has built.

In 2001, the construction of a large, four-story building measuring between 20-30 m (66-98 ft) in width and between 200-300 m (660-980 ft) in height commenced. The building includes a basement that consists of two rows of small cells with metal gates. Each cell is about 10 sq. m (107 sq. ft) in size. Inside the cells against the wall are metal racks more than two meters (6.6 ft) high, made of the triangular metal bars welded to the cast iron. All kinds of pipes and lines are all over against the ceiling. The basement is dark and terrifying, with only a flicker of light. The light switch is located on the ground level. If someone on the ground level turns off the switch, it would be impossible for people to come up. This building was finished toward the end of 2002.

In early 2003 another, even larger building was constructed inside the prison. This building measures about 100 m (330 ft) wide and about 400-500 m (1,312-1,642 ft) long. The foundation is very deep. I don't know how many basement levels it has. The basement is constructed with very strong reinforced concrete. There are huge ventilation pipes especially designed for the basement. As for the part that is above the ground, I heard the public name was going to be "Technical Training Center for Education Administration."

At that time, more than 100 Falun Gong practitioners were held here, and were forced to do slave labor. Some guards said to me, "We don't want to abuse Falun Gong practitioners. We know that Falun Gong practitioners are the nicest people, but the government heavily pressured the prisons again and again, saying that we were too soft toward Falun Gong, saying that it's a class struggle between the Party and Falun Gong and that we must be ruthless toward you guys. You see, the foundation for the prison building is growing deeper and deeper, the new buildings are much better looking than the old ones, but the cruelty toward those held inside is getting worse and worse. The central government directly allocated funds repeatedly to expand the prison and required us to add many modern torture tools. Many people, including us guards, feel such tremendous pressure that we almost cannot go on any longer."

According to the head of prison, a third building was going to be constructed, because the government has allocated funds and it's impossible not to build it. The current and several former heads of the prison have never witnessed the central government directly allocating such large amounts of funds to a local prison. As of late 2003, the second building had two finished stories.

Before I was released, a guard to whom I often clarified the truth pointed to the building that was under construction and secretly told me, "That one is built just for Falun Gong. The equipment inside... Never let them bring you here again!"

Before I was illegally arrested I heard a friend who works at the provincial Department of Public Security say, "Jiang Zemin ordered a few large prisons that only detain Falun Gong practitioners to be built in remote areas with no sign of human habitation in Xinjiang Province, Gansu Province, Inner Magnolia and Sichuan Province, and make it impossible for those who are detained to come out."

(I want to remind people that if investigation personnel from international society sets up a team to go there to investigate, they should never have only one person or the whole team all go down to the basement. Someone should stay on the ground floor to closely watch the basement light switch and maintain contact with the outside. Those who go down should have their own lighting equipment. The CCP is capable of any and all evil.)
