What were the conditions in Japanese internment camps?

The physical conditions in the internment camps were
unpleasant, but not brutal.  Internees said that the psychological and emotional
conditions were what really made the camps bad.

Physically,
the camps were not pleasant.  The people lived in hastily made wooden barracks.  The
walls were not insulated or really all that well made, so the barracks were cold and
often pretty dusty or sandy because of cracks in the walls.  Each family (or even groups
of individuals who weren't related) was put into a one room apartment so there was not
really any privacy.  Bathrooms and kitchens were communal.  Children went to school, but
there was not really all that much for the adults to
do.

The physical conditions were not great, but what was
really bad about the camps was the emotional state of the people who had been pulled
from their productive lives and put there for no really good
reason.
