  immediate supervision of women (GC arts. 85 and 126). Women internees undergoing disciplinary
  punishment must be confined in separate quarters from male internees and under the immediate supervision
  of women (GC art. 124). A woman internee must not be searched except by a woman (GC art. 97). Sick,
  wounded, and infirm internees and maternity cases may not be transferred if the journey would be seriously
  detrimental to them unless their safety imperatively so demands (GC art. 127).
  PLACES OF INTERNMENT
  5-95. The detaining power may not set up places of internment in areas particularly exposed to the dangers
  of war. The detaining power must give enemy powers, through the intermediary of the protecting powers, all
  useful information regarding the geographical location of places of internment. Whenever military
  considerations permit, internment camps must be indicated by the letters “IC,” placed so as to be clearly
  visible in the daytime from the air. The powers concerned may, however, agree upon any other system of
  marking. No place, other than an internment camp, may be marked as such (GC art. 83). A detaining power
  may refrain from marking a camp when it believes that such identification may enable an enemy power to
  pose a security risk to the camp; for example, if such identification would enable an enemy power to instigate
  a revolt, provide weapons to internees, or enable escape attempts.
  Accommodation; Hygiene Regarding Internees
  5-96. The detaining power must take all necessary and possible measures to ensure that protected persons,
  from the outset of their internment, are accommodated in buildings or quarters that afford every possible
  safeguard in regard to hygiene and health, and provide efficient protection against the rigors of the climate
  and the effects of the war. In no case may permanent places of internment be situated in unhealthy areas, or
  in districts the climate of which is injurious to the internees. In all cases where the district in which a protected
  person is temporarily interned is in an unhealthy area or has a climate that is harmful to his or her health, he
  or she must be removed to a more suitable place of internment as rapidly as circumstances permit.
  5-97. The premises must be fully protected from dampness and adequately heated and lighted, in particular
  between dusk and lights-out. The sleeping quarters must be sufficiently spacious and well-ventilated, and the
  internees must have suitable bedding and sufficient blankets, with account being taken of the climate and of
  the age, sex, and state of health of the internees.
  5-98. Internees must have for their use, day and night, sanitary conveniences (e.g. latrines, bathrooms) that
  conform to the rules of hygiene and are constantly maintained in a state of cleanliness. They must be provided
  with sufficient water and soap for their daily personal toilet and for washing their personal laundry;
  installations and facilities necessary for this purpose must be granted to them. Showers or baths must also be
  available. Necessary time must be set aside for washing and for cleaning (GC art. 85).
  Canteens
  5-99. Canteens must be installed in every place of internment, except where other suitable facilities are
  available (for comparison, see paragraph 3-74 for discussion of POW canteens). The purpose of the canteens
  is to enable internees to make purchases, at prices no higher than local market prices, of food and articles of
  everyday use, including soap and tobacco, in order to increase their personal well-being and comfort.
  5-100. Profits made by canteens must be credited to a welfare fund to be set up for each place of internment,
  and administered for the benefit of the internees attached to such place of internment. The internee committee
  (described in paragraphs 5-134 through 5-137) has the right to check the management of the canteen and of
  its welfare fund. When a place of internment is closed down, the balance of the welfare fund must be
  transferred to the welfare fund of a place of internment for internees of the same nationality or, if such a place
  does not exist, to a central welfare fund to be administered for the benefit of all internees remaining in the
  custody of the detaining power. In case of a general release, the detaining power may keep the profits subject
  to any agreement to the contrary between the powers concerned (GC art. 87). Internees are not entitled to
  more favorable treatment than the population at large with respect to canteen facilities and are equally subject
  to regulations, such as those pertaining to rationing, which are applied to the population generally.
