1. Japanese Internment Camps
Internment- The state of being confined as a prisoner, especially for political or military reasons.

2. Differences of the camps
There are a few differences that determine whether it was a Japanese Internment Camp or a Concentration camp.
*Jewish Concentration Camps*-Exploited prisoners and used them for economic profit (labor). Freight and Passenger cars delivered them there. Families lived in standard housing. Conditions were very rough, dirty, and unfair to prisoners. The prisoners were extremely manourished.
*Japanese Internment Camps*- Prisoners did not work, they were held to keep from terroristic attacks. They lived in tents with whomever they were placed with. They were often told they were being taken to shower and have a meal, when in reality they were being taken into a room to be killed.

4. Treatment of prisoners
Treatment of prisoners was obviously just plain cruelty.
When first taken in, prisoners had to get rid of many of their priceless possessions that could and would never be replaced. Upon arrival prisoners were sent directly to the outhouses because no sewers had been built.
Prisoners were given matching striped pajamas. Prisoners were sometimes killed for sport, the guards would have the women strip down and they would spray them with powerful hoses that left them red and very sore afterwards. They were fed three meals a day, until they got canned rations, it was then they cut it down to one for breakfast, and half a can for lunch. There was no dinner.

6. Living Conditions
The typical living conditions we hear about today, and in modern day research, was that of complete disgust.
By the summer of 1942, 16,000 people had been detained in Japanese Internment Camps, causing it to obviously be very crowded. Lots of people suffered mental illnesses, a lot of the time caused by stress, fear, sadness, etc.
They were housed in a tent-like structure with a very simple design. In these tents, no sort of plumbing was included, neither was any sort of cooking facility.

7. Execution
There were several reasons for execution. Some being: Attempting to escape, Resisting orders, and treason
Guards who killed without reason faced little consequences
A few went to court but resulted disappointingly
One guard was simply fined $1.00 Which was the cost of a bullet for the use artillery without permission
There were two new soldiers who were being recruited against their will. Among the recruits killed were: A mentally ill man, and two men who were deemed too weak to even walk!
