 * What four reasons do you have that will back up your point?**

1 The prisoners were given very scarce food each day, and only had dirty water

2 They lived in incredibly small spaces

3 No shelter was provided to each individual, they had to configure their own.

4 Illness was a big problem that killed a great amount of the prisoners


 * What is your first reason and three to five facts to support it?**

The prisoners that lived here were given very scarce food each day of their life.

Many people died from starvation because little food was provided. One man, Alfred H. Voorhees, recieved 4 oz. of meat each day and a little rice and salt. The other prisoners he associated with also had the same amount of food provided each day. On some days rations werent even handed out. The deaths of thousands was mainly caused from malnutrition. "...Dont feel Well to day. Some talk of a Parole Soon. Cant feed us With proper food. Oh, that We may soon be Relieved. But we must wait, hoping We will not get sick." - Alfred H. Voorhees.

What can you conclude from these facts? I can conclude that the treatment of the prisoners was unacceptable, and no one should be treated that way

The Prisoners had to live in spaces terribly small
 * What is your second reason and three to five facts to support it?**

since the prison camp was created for only 10,000 people when the number reached up to over 40,000 problems were created. Many men hada a difficult time finding a place to lie down while in these conditions. When you basically think about it, it would be the space you individually had if the whole eighth grade was in the gymnasium.

What can you conclude from these facts? I can conclude that living in the spaces the prisoners had to live in were 100% inhumane. Sources

No shelter was provided to the prisoners they had to make their own. Most of the shelter within the camp was hundreds of shanties. The prisoners had to make them their selves. Everyday changed for the lives in the prison because about 1000 or more a day came. Some days in the Journal kept from Alfred H. voorhees he claims he had no shelter. "Warm and Showery. Some More Yanks came in to day. am not well, feel very bad at times... it is so sickly, so many die from exposure to rain and sun. No shelter."- Alfred Voorhees.
