There are over 20 Dafa practitioners imprisoned in Yuchang Prison, located in the northern suburb Changling in Nanchang City. Most of them are sentenced to over 10 years in this prison. Among them, Huang Donan and his family are all Falun Dafa practitioners. The policemen prohibit Huang's family to visit him. He's now locked up in the Prison's Metal Workshop. The policemen use all different ways to try and force him to give up his belief in Falun Dafa. They deprive him of sleep and lock him up in a small cell. Sometimes he is allowed to sleep for only 2 hours. He has to finish a lot of work, such as tailoring 100 pairs of pants each day, otherwise he will not be allowed to sleep. Even in the winter, he can only wear sandals on his feet. There are 7 or 8 people assigned to brainwash him. Many practitioners in Heilongjiang Province had resisted their unfair treatment and were locked up and beaten mercilessly in solitary cells during their detention.

Masanjia Women's Forced Labor Camp assembled all those who refused to give up the practice of Falun Gong in the 9^th Group. They were forced to work from 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. the next morning. They could only sleep for less than 3 hours every day. What they had for meals were only small, egg-sized buns. Practitioners who were persistent in their practice of Falun Gong and refused to cooperate with the unlawful demands, would be tortured by all means. An elderly practitioner suffered a mental collapse from such torture and now his whereabouts are unknown. They sealed the mouth of Liu Xia, a teacher in Dalian Advance School, because she cried out to defend Falun Gong's reputation. She's been continuously tortured ever since.
