The answer to the given statement above would be TRUE. GULAG stands for Glavnoe Upravlenie ispravitel'no-trudovykh LAGerei or Main Administration of Corrective Labor Camps. Therefore, most of the prisoners here are forced to work. These prisoners are not political prisoners and mostly die from overwork, and other extreme conditions.
