Most Japanese were in the camps for 3 years. Following Executive Order 9066 (February 19, 1942), the first Relocation Centers were staffed in March, 1942. Following the US Supreme Court ruling in January, 1945, most internees were released between April and November, 1945. Some were held for various reasons (including criminal offenses) into 1946, and the \"segregation\" camp at Tule Lake closed in March of that year.
