They treated the US soldiers terribly.
Japanese made extensive use of labor forces composed to both prisoners of war and local peoples.

They were held as prisoners of war. What that entailed depended upon the "enemy" who caught them. In Britain we often made prisoners of war work, but on the whole we treated them fairly well. In Japan many prisoners were treated extremely badly and were frequently tortured.
They were treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention. Australian prisoners of the Japanese were not.
They treated the US soldiers terribly.
Australian POWs were treated as appallingly as other whites in Japanese camps. They were used as slave labour.

It largely depended on who was fighting against who and in which war. For example the Japanese in WW2 treated their POWs abominably, but few indeed became prisoners themselves. The Russians too treated their prisoners terribly. Many Russian prisoners themselves were forced to fight for the Germans.
