In 1948–1950 it functioned as a labour camp for prisoners. The reclamation of the Kamza and Valias fields was one of the works done by the prisoners of different prisons, but mainly of Tirana and Durrës. According to a report dated 13 August 1948 by the Branch of Camps and Prisons, ‘405 prisoners participated in the work every day and their performance was good’.
With the closure of the front for prisoners, the internment camp was opened here, which continued until 1953, when the barbed-wire camps were closed.
According to the testimony of one of the children of this camp, Musa Çapani, in Zërat e kujtesës (Memory Voices), published by the Institute for the Studies of Communist Crimes, the internees were dispersed in several points:
-Middle Camp, Valias
-Lower camp at the Valias turn.
-Upper Camp, near the Dako Hill
– Kodra e Beut Camp, Paskuqan.
Many of the internees in these camps were foreign prisoners of war and Greek minorities from the villages of the South.
