Biography
Fred Homi Iriye was a Japanese American draft resister confined at Heart Mountain and later imprisoned at McNeil Island. He refused conscription while his community was deprived of its civil rights. In 1946 he was electrocuted while working in the prison power plant, shortly before his planned release.
The prison admission records identify historical McNeil Island register 17047-M. They record receipt at McNeil Island on July 10, 1944. This is a facility-arrival milestone, not an established first date of overall U.S. custody or a complete sentence-service total. National Archives prison file.
Forced-removal chronology
The institutional biography records confinement at Pomona Assembly Center on May 15, 1942, followed by arrival at Heart Mountain on August 26, 1942. These are confinement-stage milestones, not a complete continuous-custody span or a change to the draft-resistance case. Heart Mountain institutional biography.
