Not a chance

North Korea sentenced two American journalists for Current TV to 12 years in a labor camp.

There is no way that North Korea will let these two women ever see the inside of a real labor camp.

The last thing that North Korea wants is witnesses. NK has four choices:

1) Send them to a prison camp, give them lots of first-hand information about the inner workings of the most-repressive state on earth, then release them x-number of years from now with all of that juicy information.

2) Send them to a lock-down prison where they can not see first-hand the depravities and inhumanity of the NK system, then release them x-number of years from now with little juicy information, but still bad propaganda value.

3) Send them to a prison where they end up killed off, thus never providing a propaganda boon for NK's enemies.

4) Pardon the women to the acclaim of all, scoring a propaganda victory by showing the soft and cuddly side of their extreme dictatorship.

Which is most likely? Obviously #4. These women will not see one second of the inside of a real labor camp. No way, no how.
