Lawsuit Against Mississippi Prison Is the Stuff of Nightmares
It’s common for inmates to set some clothing or an old milk carton on fire to get an officer’s attention when they are in desperate need of a doctor.
The US military says guards have clashed with prisoners during the on-going hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay, leading officers to move detainees from communal to single cells at Camp 6.
The military says detainees have covered surveillance cameras, windows and partitions, preventing guards from observing them during a hunger strike that has been continuing for more than two months. Lawyers say most of the 166 prisoners are participating.
The US military said in a statement Saturday that detainees have been using improvised weapons to resist the transfer, ‘forcing’ guards to fire four less-than-lethal rounds. Officials say no guards or detainees have been seriously injured.
No one in America seems to give a shit about Guantanamo, OUR prison. At least RT does.
Lol I remember when Obama promised to close it down.
