During World War II, the United States generally treated its prisoners of war (POWs) according to the Geneva Conventions, providing them with adequate food, shelter, and medical care. American POWs were often kept in camps that complied with international standards, and the U.S. government took measures to ensure their humane treatment. However, conditions varied depending on the location and circumstances, and there were instances of mistreatment, particularly in the Pacific theater. Overall, the U.S. aimed to uphold its reputation and maintain morale by treating POWs fairly.
