The system of labor camps in the period 1939-1948 consisted from four virtual parts: 1.GUPVI,(POWs and internees),2.GULAG administration, 3. Territorial labor camp administrations (UILTK and OITK) and 4.other administrations(upravlenia)NKVD/MVD which in some documents they call "civil ministries". The number of these administrations changed for years. This system is a virtual one, people could be transferred from one to other and sometime the names of the administrations did make any sense and it was possible that people from different subsystems could work at the same enterprise, although e.g. it was prohibited to keep POWs with prisoners but in some places they were. A liste of located GUPVI we can find here http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_sowjetischer_Kriegsgefangenenlager_des_Zweiten_Weltkriegs (German). To locate other labor camps we need to open sites of the Memorial society www.memo.ru For example we want to find the information for a prisoner who in 1944 was in on of the zones (OLP) of the Usolsky ITL (Usollag). We look in this list

Found УСОЛЬСКИЙ ИТЛ , go inside , look up information, 01.01.44 — 20 601 prisoners (it is not an exact number but in most cases a less or more exact approximation for able to work and to achieve the production plan)
