Chapter 10 starts with a discussion of “arguably the most expensive prison on Earth: The Pentagon detention center at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba” or “Gitmo” as it is frequently dubbed. Gitmo was the subject of a recent The Mauritania movie, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4761112/?ref_=fn_al_t… One of the actors in the movie, Benedict Cumberbatch plans to ask President Biden to shut down the facility after what he learned during filming. Citing a New York Times story that has the per prisoner cost at $13 million (even higher than the $8 million cited by your text) during an interview https://ew.com/movies/benedict-cumberbatch-guantan… with Entertainment Weekly,
It is a huge spend. It’s the most expensive prison on earth. And what are the results? Where are the prosecutions? That’s just being really brutally economic about it, it just doesn’t work … And then you have the human rights issue. It’s an atrocious own goal, I think for the free world to be incarcerating people through extraordinary rendition, torturing them, and extracting confessions they think are then usable in prosecution… it is a really dangerous, unnecessary, and ineffectual place, I think, and enough people have suffered there.
