What were internment camps before they were used on Japanese Americans?

Some conspiracy theorists claim the camps were built prior to Dec. 7. In a few cases, existing buildings, such as well-used smelly horse stables at racetracks, were used. Another example is former Civilian Conservation Corps camps out in the hills. In Hawaii, some camps were simple canvas tents with a fence around them. Most internment camps were located and built new specifically to house the internees, and after the war, fell into disuse. For example, ex-POW Gerald Coffee recalled that as a child in California, his family moved to Reno Nevada after the Pearl Harbor attack because his father left his lumberyard employment for a long term construction job near there. Years, later, he discovered the job was the construction of an internment camp!
