From the 1890s to 2025, mosquitoes have been both a bug and a feature in concentration camps. Unlike leaders during reconcentración, however, the officials funding, building, and running today's camps know the exact role that these insects play not just in discomfort, but in disease and death.

Here is a perfect example of the cruelty inherent in this kind of camp, even when it's not a death factory. No one is machine-gunning or gassing detainees. But if we keep human beings in a dangerous setting, with facilities optimized to put them at risk, the camp itself will harm them. [16/17]

But I am arguing that a desire to abuse civilians in ways that leave no one accountable leads to the nasty locations in which so many camps have been sited across history. The Everglades camp location was embraced in part due to the punishment that mosquitoes will provide. [14/17]

Australia outsourced immigration detention in 2001 to the nation of Nauru and to Manus in PNG, to create a punitive disincentive around migration. Manus had staggering malaria rates, and the mosquito-borne dengue outbreak at the detention facility in Nauru in 2014 was entirely foreseeable: [12/17]

"But Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, immigration spokeswoman from the opposition Greens Party, said that outbreaks are inevitable in crowded camps like the one on Nauru and called for greater independent oversight of the overseas refugee detention system. "The government can't control these types of outbreaks in the harsh detention camp environment. With seven families to a tent, it's impossible to keep children safe from the disease."

In Chinese concentration camps, mosquitoes were also used to administer punishments that would not violate official rules against assaulting camp prisoners. There are several examples, but here's part of the testimony Liu Xinhu gave before Congress in 1995. [11/17]

A passage from typed Congressional testimony that reads, "I was born in 1945. When I was 13 years old in 1958, because I was the eldest son in the family of a counter-revolutionary, the Communist government found an excuse which had absolutely no legal precedent, and sent me to live at the same Laogai prison farm as my father. In 1964, when I had just turned 18 years old, the Communist government sentenced me to two years reeducation through labor because of what they called "counter-revolutionary activities." After bein released from the laojiao sentence at the farm in 1966, I was ordered to continue forced labor at the farm as a "forced-job-placement" worker. I was once again labeled a "counter-revolutionary element" in 1974 because of my "political attitudes," and the controls over me at the Laogai prison farm were further strengthened. I was detained straight through until my release in 1983. During the twenty-five years I spent in the Laogai, I suffered innumerable beatings and torments; I clearly remember one occasion when I was unable to fulfill my production quota because I was was very sick, the public security police stripped me of my clothes, tied me to a tree trunk, and allowed the mosquitoes and insects to bite me for more than two hours."

It's possible some degree of unknowing negligence with specific regard to mosquitoes reigned when Spain imposed reconcentración on Cuba, as scientists were just establishing a direct link between mosquitoes and malaria in those years. But in the 1920s, the USSR would weaponize the insect. [8/17]

With reconcentrados surrounded by standing water in overcrowded and unsanitary settings, mosquito-borne malaria became a leading cause of death. Encephalitis deaths were also common. More than 100,000 civilians died in squalid conditions in these camps, from hunger and disease. [5/17]

Mosquitoes have likewise long had a starring role in concentration camps around the world, starting with the first reconcentrados in Cuba in the 1890s. Forcing families out of the countryside and behind barbed wire was *meant* to punish civilians by depriving them of food and shelter. [4/17]

One thing to keep in mind is that building in the Everglades was a deliberate choice. The administration wanted a punitive, dangerous camp. The shoddy, temporary facilities (at far above permanent-facility per-bed costs) exacerbate the conditions. Mosquitoes apparently have free rein. [2/17]
