A Bitter Legacy

The history of the World War II American incarceration prisons for 122,000 people of Japanese ancestry within the so called "War Relocation Administration" with a focus on the "Citizen Isolation Centers". United States citizens who were deemed "troublemakers" by the government for speaking up or questioning the unlawfulness of this imprisonment, were sent to almost, secret prisons in Camp Tule Lake, California, Moab, Utah and Leupp, Arizona, places now considered precursors to Guantanamo Bay largely because the manner in which these men were "rendered", and treated in such harsh and sometimes, brutal manners.
