Images and Imaginings of Internment: Comics and Illustrations of Camp

Answer "No" to both questions

You answer No to question #27 and #28 on the loyalty questionnaire and are therefore determined to be "disloyal" to the United States government. You and others who became known as the "No No's" because of this questionnaire are sent to Tule Lake, an incarceration camp with a "Segregation Center," a prison camp specially designed to hold "disloyal" Japanese Americans. 


Tule Lake has additional barbed wire and an eight-foot high double "man-proof" fence with six guard towers. Camp is under 24/7 surveillance by a battalion of 1,000 military police with armored cars and tanks. 

Working and living conditions were even worse than your previous camp, and violence was used more often to keep workers in line. You are subjected to prisoner curfew, barrack-to-barrack searches, and a near complete cessation of normal daily activities.

 

After being subjected to horrible treatment for so long, the war comes to an end and the camps are closed.
