Answer:

sorry, I'm late.

Life was generally easy. There were social activities, recreational activities, books, weekly movies, camp newspapers, and theatrical productions. Work programs and fitness programs were also available to kept the prisoners active and in good health.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The social life of detainees during their internment at the POW camps was limited although there were some rights. This, if the question refers to POW camps during World War II, because the question does not specify the time.

After the Geneve Convention of 1929 that related to Prisoners of War, countries agreed to allow inspectors to oversee the treatment of the prisoners of war in the camps. This helped to give humanitarian treatment to prisoners that could relate to each other in decent conditions such as rooms with electricity and heat.
