Internees arrived from the central San Joaquin Valley, San Pedro Bay in California, and Hawaii. Jerome’s population reached 8,497 in November 1942. And It was the first camp to close on June 30, 1944. The region is extremely humid and receives nearly sixty inches of rain a year. Mud was a constant problem, and the moist environment allowed mosquitos to flourish, which in turn caused malaria and other diseases to spread. The surrounding swamps were also rife with some of the most deadly snake species in North America, a real fear among the internees. ellak2575 https://padlet.com/ellak2575/i3hak61b7zx6/wish/152869075 2017-02-09 18:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ellak2575/i3hak61b7zx6/wish/152869075 CAMP SECUTITY: ellak2575 https://padlet.com/ellak2575/i3hak61b7zx6/wish/152872520 The camp was divided into 50 blocks surrounded by a barbed wire fence, a patrol road, and seven watch towers.
