To use the expression "Prisoner of War" to describe the camps where Japan held men and women who were captured during World War Two, is an obscenity. Prisoners of War, by universal international agreement, are treated humanely. The Japanese, in almost complete rejection of international law and precedent, treated all of their captives (men, women and children, including non-combatants) with extreme brutality. The answer to this question is clearly negative. Thousands of men died on the battlefields, but at least they had a chance. The captives of the Japanese government were uniformly subjected to treatment that resulted in a great many deaths.
