Description
This photograph depicts a group of people standing together with a building structure in the background at the Tule Lake incarceration camp. The caption on back of photograph reads: Disloyal Japs who were cuffed up when they first refused to answer inquires of army questioning. Leaving [men] back to stockade under guard. This group of people are handcuffed as a result of their refusal to comply with order or questions of the army. The Owen M. Sylvester Photograph Collection (1942-1943, undated) contains 32 black-and-white photographs taken by Sylvester at Tule Lake. The majority of the photographs were taken inside the Tule Lake Incarceration Camp in Newell, California in November 1943 and feature scenes containing housing quarters, the stockade area, imprisoned Japanese Americans, and members of the 772nd Military Police Battalion. Also included are photographs depicting scenery from directly outside of the camp. Photographs contain captions possibly written by Sylvester.
