POW (Prisoner of War) camps

Prisoner of War (POW) camps are secure facilities where military personnel captured during conflict are detained. They are governed by international treaties, like the Geneva Conventions, which set standards for humane treatment, including adequate food, shelter, and medical care. POWs are typically held until the end of hostilities and may be rehabilitated or repatriated. The goal is to ensure security while respecting prisoners' rights, preventing mistreatment or exploitation, and maintaining international legal standards during wartime.
