Explanation:

For internment camps (e.g., Japanese - American during WWII), remote, inland, and sparsely populated areas like deserts or mountainous regions were chosen. The government selected these to minimize potential security risks (perceived or real) and to keep internees isolated from the general population, reducing public backlash or potential "threat" to infrastructure.

Answer:

Internment camps (such as those for Japanese - Americans in WWII) were located in remote, inland, and sparsely populated areas like deserts and mountainous regions. The government chose these locations to minimize perceived security risks and to isolate internees from the general population, reducing potential public unrest and "threats" to key infrastructure.
