Satsuki Ina, Ph.D. is a third-generation Japanese-American, born in the Tule Lake Segregation Center and held at the Crystal City, Texas family interment camp during World War II. She has produced two nationally broadcast documentary films on PBS, "Children of the Camps" and "From A Silk Cocoon," regarding the Japanese-American experience. A licensed child and family therapist in California, she has specialized in the treatment of victims of captivity trauma. She is Professor Emeritus, California State University, Sacramento.
As a Japanese-American, I am appalled to see history repeat itself with the detention of thousands of asylum-seeking children and their mothers in two large family detention camps operated by for-profit prison corporations in Dilley and Karnes City, Texas.
