- keiferski 8y agoSorry, but this is blatant whataboutism. Guantanamo Bay is a tragedy and deserves all the criticism it gets, but: - At its height, Guantanamo Bay had about 250 prisoners.

If you wanted to make a comparison to American systems of imprisonment, the actual prison system itself is a far better (worse) example.

Besides, does America not also have one of the highest incarceration rates in the worlds? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_ra...
