A woman in a cross-patterned shirt and pants, Mine Okubo, looks at the viewer while being processed to leave camp in January 1944. She stands in front of a table, while carrying a sheaf of papers and being fingerprinted. Two men sit at the table with an inkpad and paper. Three women sit at other desks in the room and type or do paperwork.
