Japanese internment was obviously immoral, but internees did receive free health care (including free glasses and dentures if they needed them), were mostly treated humanely, and received decent portions of food daily.

What was true of Japanese internment ?

From 1942 to 1945, it was the policy of the U.S. government that people of Japanese descent would be interred in isolated camps. Enacted in reaction to Pearl Harbor and the ensuing war, the Japanese internment camps are now considered one of the most atrocious violations of American civil rights in the 20th century.


Why did japanese-american internment last so long?

Japanese-American internment during World War II lasted longer than many anticipated due to a combination of wartime hysteria, racial prejudice, and government policies. Fear of espionage and sabotage following the attack on Pearl Harbor fueled widespread mistrust of Japanese-Americans, leading to their forced relocation and incarceration. Despite the lack of evidence supporting claims of disloyalty, political pressures and wartime propaganda perpetuated the internment. It wasn't until the war's end and growing civil rights movements that the injustices of internment were increasingly acknowledged and challenged.
