	Jerome Relocation Center
		While most of the other relocation camps were built on barren, windswept lands, Jerome Relocation Center was in the middle of heavily wooded swampland, 18 miles south of McGehee and 120 miles southeast of Little Rock.
		Construction of the Jerome Relocation Center began on July 15, 1942, and it was the last of the ten camps to be opened on October 6, 1942.
		Because the WRA leave process had enabled many internees to resettle outside the camps before the end of the war, the population among all the relocation centers declined dramatically in 1944.

	Japanese American Internment - Removal of Japanese and Japanese Americans During WWII
