Labor Camps are resource buildings in the Tropico 4 Vigilante DLC. They're essentially a combination of farms and prisons, where the prisoners grow crops without requiring a wage.

Statistically speaking, labor camps are better than convict labor prisons in almost every way. However, regular prisons are smaller in size and actually rehabilitate criminals after 5 years; labor camp prisoners are held until they're personally released and never stop being criminals.
