Found this article on the BBC and thought it was a decent read. I really liked this part:
"At the heart of its response - in both the camps and the work transfer schemes - has been a drive to replace "old" Uighur loyalties to culture and the Islamic faith with a "modern" materialist identity and an enforced allegiance to the Communist Party."
And
"Written by a group of academics from Nankai University in the Chinese city of Tianjin, it concludes that the mass labour transfers are "an important method to influence, meld and assimilate Uighur minorities" and bring about a "transformation of their thinking."

It reminds me of society today. There is enormous pressure on teenagers to attend college. No real reason as to why someone should go to get a dancing degree or a degree in biology, but its highly recommended for everyone. Once people go to college there thinking changes and they definitely become more materialistic and lose whatever faith they had. Could we call colleges a recipe for genocide?
