POW camps, or Prisoner of War camps, are facilities where military personnel captured during conflicts are held. These camps are designed to detain enemy soldiers while ensuring their basic needs are met, in accordance with international laws like the Geneva Conventions. Conditions in these camps can vary widely, depending on the country managing them and the resources available. In a POW camp, prisoners are typically provided with food, shelter, and medical care, although the quality can differ significantly. The treatment of prisoners is subject to scrutiny, and violations can lead to accusations of war crimes. Historical examples include Nazi Germany's camps during World War II and Vietnam War camps used by North Vietnam.
