In this section, Solzhenitzen talks briefly on the "Last Leggers," those condemned to die, or otherwise live in solitude and filth. There were many kinds of people in Archipelago, each following a different classification. The Stoolies, the Trusties, the Thieves, the Bitches...But the Last Leggers themselves were husks of men that had their vital essence drained by the work camp until there was nothing left.

"Zecks" refers to camp natives, prisoners.
