Explanation:
I usually translate it as مخيمات العمل الإصلاحية

See this definition:

labour camp is a simplified detention facility where inmates are engaged in penal labor. Labour camps have many common aspects with slavery and with prisons. Conditions at labour camps vary widely depending on the operators.

During Stalinism, labour camps in the Soviet Union were officially called "Corrective labour camps." The term Labour colony; more exactly, "Corrective labour colony", (исправительно-трудовая колония, ИТК), was also in use and referred to camps that housed prisoners with shorter average sentences.

The labour camp was a way for the Soviet Union to stop the population from rebelling, and it was a tool of fear. For example, insulting the KGB was considered an act of treason, and that alone could end up with working in a labour camp for a few years.
