“A core part of the "regime of control" at Guantanamo was to make it impossible for detainees to trust their sense of reality. This creates an immense sense of paranoia and uncertainty. And their fears aren't unfounded.”
Sarah Mirk, Guantanamo Voices: True Accounts from the World’s Most Infamous Prison

“I think that here we are, 17 years later, and we're still saying so many of the things we were saying at the very beginning: this prison is premised on false information.”
Sarah Mirk, Guantanamo Voices: True Accounts from the World’s Most Infamous Prison

“Guantánamo is a naval base... The Cuban government leased the land to the United States for $4,085 a year. After the Cuban Revolution in the 1950s, Castro repeatedly asked for the land back. The U.S. refused. We continue to this day to send an annual check for the lease, which the Cuban government ceremoniously declines to cash.”

“We can't have acquittals. We've been holding these guys for years. How are we going to explain to the world why we've been keeping these guys all these years if they're acquitted? No. We can't have acquittals. We've got to have convictions.”
Sarah Mirk, Guantanamo Voices: True Accounts from the World’s Most Infamous Prison

“The detainee gets a one-page summary of the allegations against him before he goes to the hearings. That's all he gets. The PRB says, "We're not telling you to confess to things that you did not do". But the practical outcome is the same. If he reads it over and says, "That's all untrue," the detainee is accused of a "lack of contrition. They're accused of making false statements because they're denying the allegations. This is not a legal system used anywhere else: It was made up just for Guantanamo by the Obama administration.”
