That's a really good point. As to your previous points, I think most law enforcement agencies would have bigger fish to fry.

As to the camp situation on the whole, I think the situation would vary on the local mood, commander, available resources etc. In some cases, I can see the camp operating relatively smoothly, being run humanely, and cooperating with the local community.

In stressed areas, I can see prisoners more or less left to starve, being subject to active abuse by guards, and even locals attempting to enact "revenge" on the POWs.
