The Taehŭng concentration camp is a North Korean prison camp for political dissidents and those who committed economic crimes. It is located in the Kŏmdŏk district (chigu) of Tanch'ŏn-si, South Hamgyong province, in eastern North Korea. According to the descriptions of defectors, inmates are not allowed to talk to one another. It was reported that a number of North Korean cheerleaders who have traveled to sporting events abroad have been imprisoned there for speaking about their experiences in other countries, particularly South Korea.
