Camps One thing that Germans are very concerned about is their belief that Scientology operates penitentiary camps Rehabilitation Project Force They have warned US officials that such camps are operated on American soil and US officials have not taken these claims seriously Kent supports the German view as he is also very critical of the RPF but then again Kent s assessment of the RPF has been criticised by other scholars who question Kent s methods for example it is claimed that his research is based solely on the testimony of ex Scientologists Other scholars have come to different conclusions about the nature of the RPF But I think this particular concern which is more widely reported in Germany than in the States deserves mention
