PRISON DETAIL: GITMO OBSERVED
Bootprints remain in the sun-baked mud. Flip-flops and orange jumpsuits lay on a single blanket. Korans rest in slit windows. The soccer field doubles as a house of prayer and a guide to Mecca is spray painted on the concrete slab. Guard towers break up the rows of barbed wire and signs do their job of turning visitors away. This is present day Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, commonly known as GITMO. Here about 400 detainees remain and the debate over its effectiveness continues.
