Biography

Jay Jyunichi Ishimaru was a Japanese American participant in the Heart Mountain draft-resistance movement. After being confined at Heart Mountain during World War II, he was prosecuted for refusing military conscription and imprisoned at the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas.

Forced-removal chronology

The institutional biography records confinement at Santa Anita Assembly Center on May 27, 1942, followed by arrival at Heart Mountain on September 13, 1942. These are confinement-stage milestones, not a complete continuous-custody span or a change to the draft-resistance case. Heart Mountain institutional biography.
