Known as an agricultural penal colony, a name given to hide its real nature: it was a concentration camp active between 1954 and 1960.
It is estimated that the colonies housed common and political prisoners, but above all, the purpose was to educate male homosexuals. The repression of homosexuality, a behavior that Franco considered undesirable, as is often the case with any totalitarian regime, was legalized by the 1954 amendment to the Vagrants and Criminals Act, which allowed for one to three years in prison for homosexuals, considered a social danger. They were confined in so-called work centers, real forced labor concentration camps, where they were subjected to inhumane conditions, including work to the point of exhaustion, beatings, corporal punishment, and starvation.
