What is the distinction you make between labor camp and concentration camp? Pragmatic or stigmatic?
Oy Vey! That's antisemitic!
Lol. No. Serious question. Just curious. I never considered them distinctly different. A concentration camp is simply a high density camp. The US had them too for the Germans and Japanese. Of course a labor/work camp is where you work. Use to be the norm for most of our prisons.
As I don't see them as mutually exclusive, I'm simply asking why you specifically make the distinction? Because of the negative stigma associated with "concentration" camps? Or do I misunderstand some other way?

You've just answered it.
