Guantánamo Detention Site Is Being Transformed, U.S. Says -NYT
Advertisements [?]
In a few years, Pentagon officials say, the detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, will have undergone a radical transformation.

The sprawling detention site known as Camp Delta, with its watchtowers, double-wide trailers housing rows of steel cells and interrogation rooms will be mostly demolished.
....
Some detainees are already housed in one of the new prisons at Guantánamo known as Camp Five, which has the capacity for 100 detainees. Camp Six, with a capacity of 220, is not yet complete.

Camp Six is modeled after the jail in Lenawee County, Mich., and unlike Camp Five and most of Camp Delta, the prisoners will, for the most part, sleep and eat in a communal setting.

Cmdr. Anne M. W. Reese, the construction chief for the Guantánamo command, said in a recent interview that the new prison would have "more compliance with the Geneva Conventions."
