The guy in the topic was imprisoned for '"illegally petitioning" the central government about corruption in his hometown'. It's a communist country. These could potentially be people who just reported officials powerful enough to jail them instead of actually ceasing their corrupt behaviour.
I have no idea how their imprisonment system works over there, but I doubt that they'd let murderers do this kind of thing. More likely a new way to earn money off of safe but potentially unemployed inmates.
Sorry but thats not a communist country, that happens anywhere where few people get so much power, its just common in communist countries due to failing in implementing communism and end up with a huge amount of corruption.
Also as for forced labor, it is bad how they treat the inmates but actually tell me whats better, closing people up in one big house where you give them food, a bed and other things while they do nothing for most of the time or making them do something good for society, just make them work as normal employees (8 hour shifts, break to eat, etc) while the country keeps the money (people would pay less taxes) maybe giving them part of it so when they get out don't go steal the first thing they see, since IMHO keeping someone in jail till his old is as bad as giving him a death sentence.
BTW I would say that the thing with gold farmers is almost like drug dealers, of course they're the one to blame since the make the stuff but they wouldn't make it if people didn't buy it, so its a shared guilt.
