Here is a piece about the camp at Iscernia, run through Google Translate from the original Italian:

ISERNIA

It sets up nelle'ex Convent of Benedictine, located on the town's main road, with a capacity of about 120 seats, in 4 dormitories on the ground floor and the same number on the first floor. In truth, the capacity is lower, as some premises are transferred to the nearby school.

The management is entrusted to a Commissioner of Police (the former is transferred as punishment in Casacalenda following the escape of two foreigners interned -one Yugoslav and a rimeno). Vigilance is entrusted to some Carabinieri and Police (with predominantly administrative tasks).

The inmates belong to different categories: a hostile, foreign Jews, former Yugoslavs, aliens of the Italian Venezia Giulia and dangerous.
In the summer of 1941, it has gained a movie theater, with a wooden floor, in which are placed the Jews transferred from Agnone, who, soon complain about the narrowness of the space and the poor hygiene and ask, September 19 , the intervention of the Apostolic Nuncio (the Vatican's Ambassador to the Italian state) to be transferred in Notaresco (Teramo) or Country (Salerno). Their transfer is also called by the Prefect of Campobasso. Thus, from January 9, 1942, foreign Jews are transferred to Ferramonti Tarsia (Cosenza) and in their place come former Yugoslavs.

After September 8, the court is not closed and some inmates die as a result of the September 12 bombing of the city.
