Part of Lists of Prisoner-of-War Camps section in the Prisoner-of-war camp article. The following list is an attempt to create a complete list of Japanese military prisoner of war and civilian internment camps in World War II. It should be noted that some of these camps were for POWs only; some held a mixture of POWs and civilian internees, and some held solely civilian internees.
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
