In Spaç, prisoners died from mine accidents, diseases or executions by guard soldiers in escape attempts. Their bodies were not returned to their families, instead they were buried by camp command in a place that was kept secret during the years of dictatorship and after the regime’s fall this burial site was found out to have been in Shpal, Mirdita. No name was put on the prisoners’ graves, only a number. Family members have found a part of their relatives’ graves in Spaç Camp according to the prisoner’s data, which were placed in a small glass bottle in the grave, near the victim’s head.

Sinks were found at the end of the rectangular barracks that served as a toilet, along with the entrance.To go there, you had to pass the doorless toilets and showers, while other prisoners could be using them.The sink was a common one for everyone, made of cement in the shape of a long washtub, over and parallel to which a water pipe was installed with several consecutive holes out of which cold water ran and poured on the washtub.That’s where prisoners washed their faces, or even feet.There was never any hot water.

The private kitchen was used by prisoners to cook the few foods they received from their families with which they somehow enriched their poor diet. The pots or pans were also private, brought by the family. These utensils, too, were held in the food depot.

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.

In rare cases when there was little time before the evening, prisoners spent their time with conversations, simple games, hidden readings, and foreign language learning in secret.  Foreign language learning was prohibited by the camp’s command. This accusation was frequently collected by depositions of spies who had infiltrated in the sleeping rooms and were often used as evidence to re-convict prisoners.
