Not good. There were 10 interment camps located in 7 states. Depending on the location within that state would depend on how hot it got in the summer or how cold it got in the winter. Over 120,000 Japanese of American descent were interred in these camps. They were housed in tar paper covered wooden framed barracks with no modern Plumbing or cooking facilities, they were heated with pot bellied stoves. Latrines were used for toilets (try using one of those on a cold winter day). Mess halls were where they ate. The one near Delta, Utah (Topaz, opened Sept., 1942) housed 8,000 internees (overcrowding). It had extreme heat of 100's plus in summer and below freezing temperature in the winter. The camps were closed after the war and the last one closed in 1946.
