Why was pow put in camps?

Prisoners of war (POWs) were placed in camps primarily for reasons of security and control during conflicts. These camps were intended to segregate captured enemy combatants from the general population to prevent them from rejoining their forces and to ensure they were held under regulated conditions. Additionally, it was a means to uphold international laws and conventions that govern the treatment of POWs, ensuring their rights and welfare were maintained while preventing them from participating in further hostilities.
