That's your quibble? The activist was able to mark them on the map, because google had hi-rez images of the camps on their maps.

I had the same quibble. This article even goes on to make the connection to Schmidts trip. The two subject matters have no single fiber connecting them.

Came here to say the same. USA has hundreds of thousands of prisoners toiling away in Georgia and other states. They are simply better fed slaves, but slaves the same. Probably makes it worse that they are mostly black.
