Pentagon planning permanent Gitmo prison with professional guards
Bernard Hibbitts at 11:12 AM ET
[JURIST] Military planners are seeking $25 million to build a state-of-the-art 200-cell permanent detention facilty in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be guarded by a special 324-member professional guard force, according to a story running Thursday in the Miami Herald. The permanent building, based on the layout of a medium-security prison in Indiana, would replace cells made from shipping containers at the current Camp Delta; the guard force, designated the Military Police Internment and Resettlement Battalion, will replace Guantanamo's temporary staff of mostly reservist security personnel and would be operational in 2005. The Miami Herald has more; an October 2004 story in the Legal Times provides background on the construction of the permanent facilty.
