A few months back I wrote a column highlighting 10 of the worst Japanese-run prison camps in the Philippines during World War II. I thought it would only be fair to highlight 10 of the worst American-run prison camps for the Japanese in the U.S. during World War II.
As a quick historical reminder, the United States government, under the direct orders of Democratic president Franklin D. Roosevelt, imprisoned hundreds of thousands of Americans and recently immigrated foreigners for the crime of being Japanese or German (the Italians got some flack, too, but less so than the other two), or for having a Japanese or German surname.
