Survival in a Refugee-Internment-Detainment or Concentration Camp
Katrina Camp
What happens when the government sets up camps and starts herding people into them? Historically we have 
some very grim stories - including the Japanese internment camps of the WW2 era right here in the good ol' 
US of A.
More recently, the Katrina episode resulted in a few FEMA camps with some disturbing overtones... check out this 
first-hand account of a resort town commandeered by FEMA and the trials of a church-organization family who 
tried to donate food and clothing just prior to the arrival of Katrina refugees:

Now, anyone who's been on the net for awhile knows that the ATS website is flamboyantly paranoid with delusions 
of persecution... but this account has the ring of truth to it. No barbed wires, no UN troops, just the heavy hand 
and absurd bureaucratic reasoning typical of a government operation. You know - the same people who let 
thousands of donated motor homes and trailers deteriorate into mold-infested toxic hellholes rather than transport 
them somewhere they could have actually been used.
One Woman’s Story of Survival in an American Internment Camp
Farewell to Manzanar : A True Story of Japanese American Experience During and After the World War II 
Internment

Imagine this scenario. Recent events have made the government suspicious and afraid of you and those like you. 
You and your family have become despised so much by everyone around you that you're afraid for your safety. 
You reluctantly accept the protection offered by a move to a hastily built internment facility.
You cope with living in crowded, cramped quarters. You stand in line for awful food and for inadequate bathrooms.
There's no privacy. Some in your family are separated from you and relocated to several states away to do forced 
labor.
Think it couldn't happen here? Americans wouldn't stand for it? Would you believe it has already happened?
This is a book that tells one woman's story of life in an American internment camp. First published in 1973, it offers 
hope for coping under the adverse conditions of forced detention.
The internment of thousands of Japanese in this country during World War II is a little known and mostly 
overlooked part of our history. Perhaps it can be argued that our camps were more humane than those of the 
Germans, since we didn't kill those we confined. Nuns and other volunteers provided religious instruction and ran 
the school at the Manzanar camp Houston writes about. Nonetheless, it was still an internment camp in the 
California desert with barbed wire fences, armed guards and searchlights.
Houston and her family were there about three and a half years. She was seven in 1942 when their ordeal began. 
Though most of the family was able to stay together, their relationships were disrupted and marred, and would 
never be the same again. The father was away in North Dakota for several months and drank heavily upon his 
return. Being accused of disloyalty by Americans and his fellow Japanese Americans weighed him down.
In the midst of it all, these Japanese Americans found ways to make life as normal as possible. Some engaged in 
hobbies like painting or gardening. Children and young people became involved in school activities, such as plays 
and talent contests. There was even a swing band. Life became like that of a small town. This appears to me to be 
a commendable survival strategy. They didn't allow themselves to be defeated.
Houston concludes the book with a description of a trip she took to the remnants of the camp in 1972 with her 
husband and children. She recalls the scene as her family left the camp in 1945, riding in a blue Nash her father 
bought as an act of spirited defiance, rather than leave by bus.
What choices will you and I make if faced with similar conditions? Houston made the choice to survive many times, 
though life handed her injustice, humiliation and prejudice. Thus, it's only fitting that she close her book with the 
recollection of her father's kind of defiant spirit.
Farewell to Manzanar is fairly short and easy to read. Add Farewell to Manzanar to your survival library. Share it 
with your children or grandchildren. No, it won't teach you how to light a fire or build a shelter in the wilderness, 
but what you discover will add to your inner tools for building a survival mindset.

Four Letters from Americans in a Japanese Internment Camp

Introduction
On December 7, 1941, the day of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, there were more than 110,000 people of 
Japanese descent living on the West Coast of the United States. Within a few months, they were all gone from their
homes. Out of fear of espionage and sabotage along the Pacific, the government placed Japanese American men, 
women, and children in internment camps in the interior of the country. Two-thirds of the internees were U.S. 
citizens. None of them was ever charged with a crime.
Clara Estelle Breed was the supervising children’s librarian at the San Diego Public Library, where she came to 
know many young Japanese Americans. When they were evacuated from San Diego, she was at the train station 
to see them off. She handed out stamped, self-addressed postcards and urged them to write to her when they 
reached their destination.
Miss Breed spoke out publicly against the internment policy, believing that democracy "must be defended at home 
as well as abroad." But by taking an interest in the internees, she was not merely taking up a cause. Her 
correspondents were her friends. Like anyone writing to a friend, the internees tended to report on personal 
concerns and ordinary matters: their parents, their classes, the dances they held, the books they were reading, 
the movies they saw. It is a great irony that the letters tell us as much about life as a young American in the 1940s 
as they do about the internment—the punishment imposed upon these young people because they were not fully 
recognized as Americans.

"Supposed" Internment Camps by Paranoid Internet Groups
Glenn Beck says there are no "Internment Camps" and went to some extent to prove his point by debunking a relatively 
famous one. Still - that's just one of many supposed locations. My guess is that they are all "possible" sites or previous sites 
(closed down by one administration or another) that have nothing whatever to do with detaining Americans - though darn 
near anywhere could be converted to that purpose in a matter of says. It didn't take them long to turn the SuperDome into a 
hellhole, and I wonder whatever came of the place in the original post?
What I propose is that anyone near one of these sites go out and take a look and post their impressions here. Personally, I'm not 
buying it, and some of the comments made by the list builders just reinforce my inclination to think they are 
paranoid-schizophrenics... then again, look who has been in office over the last 150 years.

wire facing inwards.
INDIANA
Indianapolis / Marion County – Amtrak railcar repair facility (closed); controversial site of a major alleged 
detention/processing center. Although some sources state that this site is a “red herring”, photographic and video 
evidence suggests otherwise. This large facility contains large 3-4 inch gas mains to large furnaces (crematoria?), 
helicopter landing pads, railheads for prisoners, Red/Blue/Green zones for classifying and processing incoming 
personnel, one-way turnstiles, barracks, towers, high fences with razor wire, etc. Personnel with government clearance 
who are friendly to the patriot movement took a guided tour of the facility to confirm this site. This site is located next to 
a closed refrigeration plant facility. {I believe this is the place Beck debunked}
Ft. Benjamin Harrison – Located in the northeast part of Indianapolis, this base has been decomissioned from 
“active” use but portions are still ideally converted to hold detainees. Helicopter landing areas still exist for prisoners to 
be brought in by air, land & rail.

program, 80% of facility still unused. Possible FEMA detention center or holding facility.

minimum security detainees. Located just west of Interstate 65 near Edinburgh, south of Indianapolis.

and nearby rail.
Kingsbury – This “closed” military base is adjacent to a state fish & wildlife preserve. Part of the base is converted to 
an industrial park, but the southern portion of this property is still used. It is bordered on the south by railroad, and is 
staffed with some foreign-speaking UN troops. A local police officer who was hunting and camping close to the base in 
the game preserve was accosted, roughed up, and warned by the English-speaking unit commander to stay away from 
the area. It was suggested to the officer that the welfare of his family would depend on his “silence”. Located just 
southeast of LaPorte.
Jasper-Pulaski Wildlife Area – Youth Corrections farm located here. Facility is “closed”, but is still staffed and being 
“renovated”. Total capacity unknown.
Grissom AFB – This closed airbase still handles a lot of traffic, and has a “state owned” prison compound on the 
southern part of the facility. UNICOR.
Jefferson Proving Grounds – Southern Indiana – This facility was an active base with test firing occurring daily. 
Portions of the base have been opened to create an industrial park, but other areas are still highly restricted. A camp is
believed to be located “downrange”. Facility is equipped with an airfield and has a nearby rail line. Member Update: 
The base has been opened in the aspect that the sector with the Barracks and storage facilities have been turned into 
low income housing and an industrial park.  It is a rather large area, that there is also some farm land being developed 
on.  The sectors that are still closed are the testing ranges and the surrounding areas.  They will remain closed and 
under military control indefinitely. This is due to the large amount of unexploded ordinance and DU.  There are sections
in the northern half that are accessible to the public inside the restricted areas.  They include Old Timbers Lodge and 
Old Timbers Public fishing area.  Now to the rail Line there is a rail line that runs into JPG it hasn’t been used and is 
covered almost completely with rail cars that have not been moved since the closure.  The airfields are unusable both 
are deteriorated the large one is also covered in leftover FEMA trailers from Katrina.  They are slowly being sold off 
one to private individuals.  The reason I know so much about JPG is I live right up the road from it, many of my family 
members have worked there for years, and I ride my Motorcycle all over the it.  You can google earth the Facility and 
see it is in a large part wooded you can also go to the link below and view images from inside the restricted area some 
of which include unexploded ordnance and Radiation Warning Signs.

OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES
There are many other locations not listed above that are worthy of consideration as a possible detention camp site, but 
due to space limitations and the time needed to verify, could not be included here. Virtually all military reservations, 
posts, bases, stations, & depots can be considered highly suspect (because it is “federal” land). Also fitting this 
category are “Regional Airports” and “International Airports” which also fall under federal jurisdiction and have 
limited-access areas. Mental hospitals, closed hospitals & nursing homes, closed military bases, wildlife refuges, state 
prisons, toxic waste dumps, hotels and other areas all have varying degrees of potential for being a detention camp 
area. The likelihood of a site being suspect increases with transportation access to the site, including airports/airstrips, 
railheads, navigable waterways & ports, interstate and US highways. Some facilities are “disguised” as industrial or 
commercial properties, camouflaged or even wholly contained inside large buildings (Indianapolis) or factories. Many 
inner-city buildings left vacant during the de-industrialization of America have been quietly acquired and held, 
sometimes retrofitted for their new uses.
CANADA
Our Canadian friends tell us that virtually all Canadian military bases, especially those north of the 50th Parallel, are all 
set up with concentration camps. Not even half of these can be listed, but here are a few sites with the massive land 
space to handle any population:
Suffield CFB – just north of Medicine Hat, less than 60 miles from the USA.
Primrose Lake Air Range – 70 miles northeast of Edmonton.
Wainwright CFB – halfway between Medicine Hat and Primrose Lake.
Ft. Nelson – Northernmost point on the BC Railway line.
Ft. McPherson – Very cold territory ~ NW Territories.
Ft. Providence – Located on Great Slave Lake.
Halifax – Nova Scotia. Dept. of National Defense reserve…. And others.
OVERSEAS LOCATIONS
