Thanks to truth clarification efforts, more and more practitioners who had gone astray recognized the lies that they were coerced to believe by the authorities and those working for them. As more and more practitioners returned to the righteous path of cultivation, the prison police in Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp became more and more fearful.

1. Fear of Truth-Clarification Phone Calls

The head of the fifth brigade said to practitioners: "One day at noon in 2001, I received a brief phone call in my office, telling me of the law of universe that good deeds are rewarded with good and evil deeds are met with retribution. The caller persuaded me not to assist the evils. This phone call scared me. I could not sleep during the whole noon break (it is a custom in some places in China to have several hours of midday break). To prevent further calls, I pulled out the phone line and changed my phone number." The evil-suffocating phone calls placed by practitioners truly function well in suppressing evils.

Prisoners being released from the labor camp were thoroughly searched, both their belongings and their persons. During body searches, all the clothes were taken off. Every corner, sleeve, neck, shoe, everywhere was carefully searched. The practitioners' belongings would be confiscated if there were words written on them. They feared that practitioners would record the truth of the persecution in the forced labor camp and expose it to the world.

Control in the forced labor camp became tighter and tighter. Practitioners were not only forbidden to talk to each other during daily activities, they even were not allowed to go to the activity room. They had to sit separately and be watched by police when they went outside. Determined practitioners were detained individually in single rooms and could not be seen by anybody.

Two team leaders talked to each other: "Look! How lucky the head of the fifth brigade Yang Baoli is. After a few days, he will be moved to the head of the seventh brigade. He can relax now. Who wants to be in charge of the brigades that persecute Falun Gong practitioners? If you put too much pressure, you will be exposed when there is an incident. If you manage loosely, the higher authorities will not be pleased. They want their transformation quota to be reached. Who can manage these brigades well? Everybody wants to avoid (these brigades)" It appears that fewer and fewer people want to assist the evil.
