In the first years of Spaç Camp’s operation, roll call was done at the area in front of the sleeping rooms and craftsman’s barracks.  Later, it was done on top of the recently built toiletroom.The sketch shows the latter, where Spaç’s prisoners gathered.As the toilets were rebuilt isolated from above as well, two sets of stairs were used to climb on top, where prisoners gathered to do roll call.Even here, it wasn’t rare that prisoners were held two to three hours in the sun, rain or snow, while officers checked each prisoner.

This is a view of the prisoners’ cafeteria in the ‘70s.After performing their morning routine in the toilet, prisoners who started first shift would hurry to the cafeteria to have breakfast and go to work.   At 6:00 am, all prisoners who’d work first shift had to have finished their breakfast and be ready to go to the tunnels.For the first shift that worked in the mines, breakfast was soup with seasonal vegetables and sometimes a little meat.But this menu did not apply to those working above ground or in supporting sectors, as they had a poorer diet and they never had meat.

Family meetings were done according to a monthly schedule determined by prison command.  Prisoners were entitled to meet their families twice a month for 15 minutes. Furthermore, they could send two letters a month to their families, whereas telegrams and cards were allowed with no limitation. Meetings were always done in the presence of wardens.

According to collected testimonies, the camp’s sleeping areas had other bed placement systems, too, such as in this sketch.  In some operating periods of this camp, when there was a large number of incomig prisoners, up to 50 people were forced to stay in one room.Prisoners also held their personal belongings and moccasins or clogs (shoes were rare) that they wore in the camp’s premises.Among the personal belongings, there were:2 pairs of clothes, 1 aluminum or plastic canteen, 1 toothbrush, 1 notebook, 1 bowl, 1 aluminum tablespoon, 1 mattress, blanket and sheet.  The wooden stairs to climb the upper beds were everywhere in the sleepng area.

In the copper area the daily target was also seven wagons. Provided that one shovelful of copper weighed less than that of pyrite, work was somewhat less difficult in these areas. Furthermore, climate conditions in copper tunnels were more stable and there was no great temperature variation as in the pyrite area. According to the same estimate, the quantity a prisoner had to manually load onto the wagons every day to then transport them to the heap was 8,400 kilograms of copper.

The work routine was also the same in the copper area. At the start, they extracted mineral with wagons from the work front where the explosion had occurred, cleaned the inert material, and then reinforced the cleared front, create holes to detonate the explosives for the successive shift.
