The site is now commemorated by a museum. Conditions Geneva Conventions Prior to the Geneva Conventions, there were no guidelines or protections for internment or prisoners of war. A Red Cross convention in Geneva, Switzerland passed a series of international treaties. The 1929 treaty addressed treatment of prisoners of war and provided guidelines for humane treatment. Countries were to use the same standards for quality of facilities and food for prisoners of war as they used for their own soldiers. Throughout World War II, the United States as a whole was known for treating prisoners of war incredibly well, often in hopes of securing similar treatment for American prisoners held by other countries.

At Camp Tooele, prisoners had canvas cots and each barrack was heated by an oil stove, with each barrack housing 50 men. For much of the war, the camps in Utah maintained the standards of the Geneva Conventions regarding food. However, a decrease in rations following the defeat of Germany led to objections by prisoners that the US was not obeying the Geneva conventions. Labor In Utah, prisoners of war made up a large portion of the wartime labor force. Local farmers were allowed to negotiate labor contracts with prisoners. A portion of their wages ($0.80 per day) went to the prisoners to keep and spend as they wished, and the remaining wages went to the US government to cover food and housing costs for the prisoners. Prisoners worked in fields and orchards throughout Utah, allowing them to interact with farmers and their families. Education As with other camps throughout the US, education programs were run at these camps. Prisoners themselves set up and ran the programs under the supervision of camp authority. Prisoners who ran the programs could subscribe to and request newspapers and periodicals, which would then be filtered through camp officers to censor out propaganda. At Camp Douglas, they began a program to stock the camp with the “right kind” of magazine and periodicals, referring to those with American content. English language and American History classes were the most popular. However, at Camp Hill Field, Italian prisoners who ran the programs expressed
