146 camps, if any, to study educational camps - AEL (Arbeitserziehungslager), which fell under the responsibility of the security police (SIPO) and not directly under the SS, but still under the control of the Empire leader of the S.S. and the head of German police Himmler and were an important instrument of repression to intimidate domestic and foreign workers. (389) Since 1942, AEL could have been deported by women. The AEL's work was usually hard and the conditions were worse than those in concentration camps, due to a relatively short stay at AEL.

Their resistance was broken and in addition they acted in a deterrent way to the establishment of the race, whether they were Germans or foreigners.

(392) In the last months of the war, AEL was transformed into a sort of widespread police prison, into which state, criminal and city police could mass-send escaped foreigners, but also German delinquents. Often these camps were subject to corruption officials who enriched themselves with the valuables of prisoners and their designated items of daily need. As in concentration camps, they also rented prisoners at AEL to employers for loans. Daily rates were 4 Reich Marks for uneducated women and 6 marks for qualified workers. The total number of employees who went through AEL is not reliably recorded. Before the end of the war, all AELs had a capacity of about 40,000 places. Since the camps were catastrophically crowded and the prison period ranged from three to eight weeks, it is likely that several hundred thousand people passed through the camps.
