Lies
about Guantanamo
You've no doubt heard the argument from those opposed to closing
Guantanamo that "we just don't have enough secure locations
for those inmates" inside the U.S. prison system. But as
Criminal Justice blogger Matt Kelley points out, the claim that
a nation that imprisons 2.4 million people can't find cells for
241 people is simply preposterous. We certainly have room for
Guantanamo detainees in our Supermax prisons, and they could
be safely detained in these facilities without jeopardizing the
security of the U.S. Indeed, if we believe these maximum security
prisons were unsafe, why are they ok for serial killers?
