Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp (Gitmo)

Mistreated. Abused. Unlawful treatment. That´s how prisoners were treated in Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp in Cuba. Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo) was also a naval base. Obama makes a key argument that the prison in Cuba  — that its continued operation is contrary to “our values” — crumbles upon examination, too.  Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp violates human rights. The prisoners get tortured and brutally beat. Democrats want to close down Guantanamo Bay because they believe that what is going on inside the prison is not just. Republicans who want to keep the person open say only the worst of the worst are left

I agree with Obama that Guantanamo Bay should be shut down. We are humans. We have rights. No one deserves to be mistreated no matter what they have done. We have natural human rights that should be respected even in prison. No human should be tortured no matter how many laws they have broken.

Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp connects with The Crucible because women were accused of being witches and they would get tortured and mistreat and many of women were killed. Goody Proctor was accused of witch craft because of the sin that her husband has committed. She was arrested and mistreated, and like in Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp she was treated very badly. She had no rights and wasn't allowed to have visitors.

This is where the prisoners are first housed when they first arrive to Guantanamo Bay. This prison has bad living conditions and the prisoners get treated like animal.

  4. I like this blog post. You did a good job with explaining the immorality of the enforcement of the camp. Like you said, none of those people should be tortured regardless of what they have done. I agree that it should be shut down asap. And your connection to the crucible was pretty accurate. Nice job Katelyn

    1. Kasan, Guantanamo Bay is located in Cuba, but is a prison camp for suspected terrorists. Please add comments about the content of the blog.
