Lt. Col.
Smith, the Camp Atlanta Commandant, felt that prisoners who weren't kept
busy had nothing to do but get into trouble. Therefore he encouraged all
kinds of recreation for the prisoners. Those who weren't allowed off the
base to work in the fields had to have some kind of activity they were
involved in on base.
An effective incentive to participation in these activities was one of "No Work, No Food." Prisoners who didn't cooperate with the Americans were put on bread and water rations until their thinking came into line with their captors. |
