The term vol’nye [free people] has various meanings, including: (1) those who were forced to settle in a particular place with no set term of exile and without deprivation of their civil rights; and (2) prisoners who were allowed to live with their families outside the camp compound in order to engage in shock labor. See Jacques Rossi, The Gulag Handbook: An Encyclopedia Dictionary of Soviet Penitentiary Institutions and Terms Related to the Forced Labor Camps, trans. William A. Burhans (New York: Paragon House, 1989), 53.
