Camp Sites were under guard.

Barbed wire surrounded the camp site. Though the camp was supposed to be for the protection of the inmates, an inmate was shot by the fence. A total of 11 inmates shot at the camp. Eight watchtowers guarded the inmates as well. 

The caption for this photograph by the WRA reads:

Army military police go on duty to guard the boundaries of this War Relocation Authority center for evacuees of Japanese ancestry.
