Biography
Kazuto Hirose 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 McNeil Island in Washington.
The prison admission records identify historical McNeil Island register 17042-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 Santa Anita Assembly Center on May 28, 1942 before Heart Mountain. The biography’s arrival date differs from the prison file’s assignment chronology, admission summary p. 2; no exact Heart Mountain arrival-day correction is made here. These are confinement-stage milestones, not a complete continuous-custody span or a change to the draft-resistance case. Heart Mountain institutional biography.
