content: This photo was taken in the Jerome Concentration camp, and depicts the hospital area in the prison in Denson, Arkansas.The barracks and the hospital are sprawling over the barren landscape. One of the major functions of the hospital was handling all the camp babies that were born while Japanese Americans were imprisoned. Many children were born during WWII and the time that the Japanese Americans were confined, so the hospital was one of the most important buildings in each of the concentration camps.
