content: This is the Citizen’s Indefinite Leave Pass awarded to Roy Nakano by the War Relocation Authority. Awarded May 4, 1943, it allowed Nakano to leave the camp indefinitely, with his first destination being Bremen, Indiana from Tule Lake Concentration Camp, California. Printed on anti-forgery paper, it shows a black and white photo of Nakano in a white shirt holding a board with his name on it. On the reverse side is a fingerprint of Nakano’s right index finger and a section for listing pass restrictions. Roy had to carry this at all times, but it allowed him to travel semi-freely instead of being confined in a prison camp.
