"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever."
George Orwell, 1984
Citāts no Soon Ok Lee grāmatas "Eyes of the Tailless Animals":
[..] When Myung Hee Hwang was released from solitary confinement, she was moved to the PoHwa factory, which was a shoe factory. It is also one of the hardest places in prison. If prisoners broke prison policy or did not meet the daily quota, they were sent to the shoe factory.
The shoe factory squeezed out the last drop of the prisoners' blood and sweat. Workers were required to produce 3,000 pairs of shoes every day, and each pair went through 58 steps-all done by hand. Pouring hot rubber into the mold and taking the dried rubber out of the mold were especially hard. Many shoes were hung over a big pot of boiling water.
The factory's doors and windows were tightly closed even on hot summer days because the officers said that the outside air caused bubbles to form in the shoe glue. The atmosphere felt like a sauna, and the air easily suffocated first-timers. The temperature must have been above 100 degrees.
The sweaty prisoners always looked as if they had just stepped out of the shower. Because they lost a lot of water through sweating, the prisoners suffered from more severe malnutrition and they fainted easily. They were supposed to receive a bigger ration of salty soup, but they did not get the right amount. Many prisoners lost their hair because of inadequate diet. The shoe factory had more people die of malnutrition than any other factory in the prison.
The shoe factory prisoners were almost naked to endure the heat. Most of the women didn't wear shirts, and they did not even cover their breasts. Their naked bodies were discolored from terrible burns.
The heat and malnutrition caused many prisoners to have hernias, which caused a lot of bleeding. The prison recycled fabric female hygienic napkins and supplied them to shoe factory prisoners since they had the most hernias. Some prisoners died from severe blood loss. in fact, I knew about ten prisoners who bled to death.
The officer of the factory was a man about 55 years o1d. He loved to harass the prisoners. He carried a long, wooden stick, and he jabbed prisoners with it to see them react. He laughed while he watched the pain on their faces. [..]
