...Brussels aid group, says, "Many of the girls have broken teeth. They say they fell downstairs. But there are so many of them that either this business has the worst-maintained stairs in the world or these girls are being punched." In a brothel in Bautzen, Germany, last year, women were beaten with bats and administered electric shocks. In Prague girls in the trade were cut with razors to make them submit.

...seems like a dream that in July I was lying on the floor of a punishment cell in a work camp called Bautzen in the Communist half of Germany (G.D.R.), where I was (I thought at the time) slowly starving and dying of thirst. Yet now I am in the academic world of Cambridge finishing my Ph.D. dissertation in linguistics at MIT after being a guest of the East German state for two years--fourteen months at the top secret security interrogation prison MFS Hohenschonhausen (East Berlin) and eight months a la Solzhenitsyn at the work camp Bautzen near...

Trochim drew a two-year sentence in the Bautzen II Labor Camp, Zippel got 20 months at Buetzow Prison, known to its inmates as "the Red Hell...
...British Private Dennis Eggleton, who deserted to the Soviet four years ago, returned to Berlin, gave himself up. He brought back a report that the Russians had established a "deserters' village" at Bautzen near the Czech-Polish border. There, said Eggleton, U.S., British and French deserters live in good apartments given them on Russian orders, get papers certifying that they are stateless, in turn are made to sign statements saying that they are leading happy lives. Unhappy Deserter Eggleton went off to jail...
