The thing about re-education camps like that is that they have pages and pages of arbitrary rules to ensure that somewhere along the line the prisoners will violate something or other so that the punishments (which are the real point) can be applied. Knowing that they're set up this way may help you endure, because you can "accidentally" violate something minor early, fake breaking down and being "converted" and cruise through the rest of the week. Knowing the process will help you game their system.
