Was the holocaust similar to prison for the people in it?( details inside)

by [deleted]

My main question was in terms of how the prisoners interacted. Di they have prison bitches? Was there people who could get things or was it too heavily guarded?

There was apparently a flourishing black market within the camps. I'm not sure what "prison bitches" means in this context but the Germans used trusties ("Kapos") recruited from the prisoner population to supervise work and even enforce discipline on the other prisoners, particularly toward the end of the war when they had a massive manpower shortage.
