“Video details life in North Korea,” by Lee Young-jong, JoongAng Daily, http://joongangdaily.joins.com/200501/06/200501062243482139900090309031.html, 7 January 2005 (from NK Zone).

“The crime of prostitution and disturbing this nation’s order must be punished heavily,” a judge said to a woman and a man standing on a truck at the Sinam Mark of Cheongjin, North Hamgyeong province.
According to the tape, the woman received 1,000 won ($.66, the market rate for U.S. dollars) in North Korean currency for the sex act. The money can buy about 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of rice. She was sent to a forced labor camp immediately after she was found guilty at the open trial.

The tape also showed the dreary lives of many stray children on the streets. Some lie motionless near railroad tracks. A child is seen walking around a plaza with a liquor bottle in his hand; he was shoeless and all his toes are cutoff .
“So many of them (children) die of hunger and cold, so nobody pays attention to them,” said a former North Korean intelligence official of the North Hamgyeong province who defected to the South.
