I've been trying to tell people: "Internment Camp" "Worker Camp" even "Concentration Camp" were at the time politically correct, "nice" sounding terms.
They did not have the connotation of "Prison Camp" that they have now, and there was a common acceptance that they were necessary. It wasn't until after the fact that people realized that allowing the government to round people up for any reason is a bad idea.
