Although it has been many years since former U.S. President Barack Obama announced the closure of the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center, the world's most controversial prison is still in operation, with mostly unindicted and untried prisoners. Relax: Prisoners can browse books in the camp's internal library, which has a large collection of books, both in English and Arabic, as well as Hollywood blockbuster DVDs and magazines, and prisoners can even sit in chairs and watch movies.
Expressionism: At the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center, prisoners can paint and exhibit their artwork on the walls of Camp Six, and their works can also be viewed by guards and other prisoners.
Cuba's only McDonald's: Al-Qaeda personnel can be treated on the same terms as members of small-town U.S. towns.
Entertainment: After work, soldiers can also relax in the Ground Zero paintball range, located in the easternmost tip of Cuba, Guantanamo Bay.
Leisure time: Soldiers can also enjoy leisure time on the beach of the base.
Caribbean Prison: A service member at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay looks out over the sea at the U.S. military base in Cuba.
Then and Now: In 2002, when the eyes of prisoners in X-ray camps were gagged, blindfolded, and stripped of all perception, the world was stunned and America's reputation was severely damaged. Today, the camp is vacant and the fence is already overgrown.
Dark days: Several soldiers are walking past the fence of the X-ray battalion. In X-ray battalions, prisoners had to wear black goggles to make sure they couldn't see objects, had to wear earmuffs to make sure they couldn't hear, had to wear surgical masks to limit their sense of smell, and had to wear gloves to limit their sense of touch. They don't even perceive the warmth of the 30-degree Celsius sun.
Notorious: One of the most famous places in Guantanamo Bay is the Bush administration's so-called fortified interrogation technology base, such as the waterboarding used in between. The picture shows the interrogation room of the X-ray battalion.
Abandoned X-ray Battalion: In 2002, CIA personnel interrogated al-Qaida suspects in an X-ray camp where the seriously injured and soulless suspects were so weak that they could not even stand up. The exposure of this problem has aroused great concern about the treatment of prisoners in the United States.
Scripture: The picture shows Arabic books on the shelves of the Guantanamo Library. The library has a collection of more than 25,000 volumes, but only 149 prisoners.
Entertainment: Suspected horrors can play computer games, take art classes and watch Harry Potter DVDs in Guantanamo Prison. The prisoners held here are said to be the most dangerous terrorists in the world, and they can read hundreds of books and magazines in the library, exercise in the stadium or play football.
Competition: Some prisoners in Guantanamo Bay can even play computer games at the U.S. Naval Base's game station.
Camp Six: The Pentagon estimates it will cost $150 million a year to maintain the prison and court-martial system at the U.S. naval base in Cuba, which was established 11 years ago to house suspected foreign terror. There are currently 149 prisoners held here, which equates to an average annual cost of $1 million per prisoner.
Prisoners: There is no damp and desolate dungeon as many people in the outside world imagine, in fact, prisoners can rent Harry Potter movies, borrow car magazines, and even eat strawberries while drinking tea. Each prisoner's cell was equipped with a private bathroom, sewage and paper, and even their uniforms were neatly stacked on their beds every morning.
Prison Environment: The prison provides inmates with cultural lessons, interpersonal communication, life skills, personal finance, writing and language training. Among them, most popular were art classes, and some prisoners were even allowed to decorate their cells themselves.
Federal Government: Guantanamo prison was established in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks on the United States, and Republican President George W. Bush jr. was established to hold foreign terror suspects. In early 2009, a year after Mr. Obama took office, his refusal to honor his promise to close the prison made it an immortal symbol of the widespread condemnation of interrogation and detention in the Bush-era United States.
U.S. authorities are eager to show that the base offers free space for "rule-abiding" prisoners, most of whom are suspects arrested by U.S. special forces in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks, and they have 24-hour video surveillance of all prisoners.
Lunch options: From vegetarian to fish, prisoners can choose their own food according to their dietary needs.
Baking: The prison's cafeteria also serves food for U.S. military personnel and soldiers and sailors at Guantanamo Bay.
Special Treatment: For those who only eat halal beef and muscle, the prison canteen will offer them a similar side dish to choose from at lunch and dinner.
Cookies: If the prisoners behave well, the guards at Guantanamo Bay will reward them with cookies.
Security: Guantanamo Bay has been one of the most controversial issues in the United States and around the world. To that end, Mr. Obama promised to close the prison at the beginning of his presidency in January 2009, but his move was opposed by Congress and failed to materialize. Although the President has stopped sending more terrorist suspects to Guantanamo Prison, there are still 149 prisoners in the prison.
Forced Feeding: This is a restraint seat in a prisoner's hospital for mandatory feeding for hunger strikers. The inmates hospital is also part of the U.S. Military Prison at Guantanamo Bay.
Scary: This is the infamous restraint chair in Guantanamo Prison. The inmates claimed to have suffered prolonged periods of forced feeding. In 2013, the U.S. military forced feeding 104 of the 166 prisoners on hunger strike for more than three months.
A military doctor is preparing to feed hunger strikers with feeding tubes, and last year, only a few prisoners went on a hunger strike, which later grew to 104 prisoners on a massive hunger strike.
Legal Black Hole: This is the operating room of inmates in Guantanamo Prison. The prison has been denounced as a black hole in the law, and inmates held in the prison do not enjoy the same rights as inmates in U.S. prisons.
Necessary measures: To prevent ongoing injuries, the prison added lubricant to prisoners' feeding tubes and also provided inmates with anesthetics, a military spokesman said. "In order to ensure that prisoners are pain-free and as comfortable as possible, we provide adequate safeguards. There is no pain, no punishment, we do this only to sustain life. ”
The prisoners did not spend their days in the damp and dark dungeon as many imagined, and in fact, the prisoners could rent Harry Potter movies to watch and borrow car magazines.
