    They are already building a $250 million facility in Guantanamo to hold 30,000 people. For context, the average maximum security prison in America holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, in Angola, LA, hold about 8300. So the new Guantanamo facility will hold almost 4x more than the largest prison, which is already several times larger than average.

    Clearly, they want to detain a LOT of people, outside of the prying eyes of the courts and the media.

      “Hold”

      Hold implies eventual release. Those people will never see the outside again. That is going to be a death camp in record time.
