Prison room

Japanese: 監獄部屋 - かんごくべや
Prison room
Also known as octopus room. A pre-modern labor management system in which workers were gathered in a fixed place, confined violently to prevent escape or flight, and forced to work. This was particularly prevalent in the early days of capitalism, particularly in construction and mining labor. Unfair intermediary exploitation and severe lynching were practiced.
