internment camp
Some years before World War II starts, by feeling of a sense of impending crisis of Japan's espionage, the
President Franklin Roosevelt started to set up a operation to create lists of Japanese American who residence in Oahu island, Hawaii in 1936, as preparing for case of emergency. By exploiting those efficient lists, U.S started to send those people on the lists to the concentration camps since starting to consider Japanese as "enemy alien" after the Attacking On Pearl Harbor.
The U.S government sent them into the concentration camps under the logic of "Japanese Americans are used as spy that is sent to the U.S territory" that U.S got from the encryption of Japan. Although they weren't really sure if the information was included in the "Purple Encryption", and actually none of espionage or vandalism were done by Japanese American since WWII started.

actual treatment
There were factories, farms, hospital, school, church and theater, and people who works at there could've gotten income. Movement inside of the camps was allowed, but it wasn't allowed to go outside unless they have been injured or sick.
Houses which were allocated for each of internees were houses that are supposed be called barracks, which is pretty coarseness, and those were never reconstructed. Also they were allowed to have only crude furniture and the most of bathrooms weren't even divided from living room. From this
insanitary environment, mass food poisoning often happened in the internment camps.

In talking about their diet, it was hard to get food suit Japanese's taste at that time because of the limit of distribution. According to this, they were required to be self-sufficient. All of their harvests were allot for meal in dining halls. People in the camps were skillful at cultivate, and they used to be breeding pig and chicken, manufacturing tofu and soy sauce, as other products.
As a recreation for those people who were in the camps, camps organized boy scouts and held some events of sumo, kendo, baseball, basketball, and the other sports.
The members of the Boy Scouts were not treated as a American citizen even though they were forced to swear a loyalty for U.S and carried U.S's flag.

damage
As stated above, there were many people who weren't given enough time to prepare for movement, were allowed to carry only bit of baggage, and most people who were sent to the camps were beaten down the prices of assets and land by the government.
About these measures to Japanese American, Francis Biddle, the attorney general mentions "Government is trying to snatch Japanese's land by impressing a feeling of anti-Japanese in the East Coast".
Right before the Internment starts, the U.S government proclaimed to preserve internees' property if they offered, although those Japanese American who were sent to the camps didn't have any chance because the government hadn't given enough time for offering.
