Camp Delta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camp Delta, situated at , composed of detention camps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and Camp Echo, is a permanent 612-unit detention center at Guantanamo Bay that replaced the temporary facilities of Camp X-Ray. It was built between February 27 and mid-April 2002 by Navy Seabees, Marine Engineers, and workers from Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root.
Most of the security force are U.S. Army military police, and U.S. Navy Masters-at-Arms.
Prisoners are first sent to Camp 3, the maximum security camp. Detainees who cooperate with their guards are moved to Camp 2, then, after more co-operation, to Camp 1. Prisoners who are considered to show no security risk and cooperate with interrogators are moved to Camp 4.
Camp 4 buildings have a shower and lavatory, plus four communal living rooms for 10 prisoners each. Each detainee has a bed and a locker for items such as diaries and books. Camp 4 has small, common recreational areas for playing board games and team sports. Detainees at Camp 4 share communal meals, and wear white instead of orange.[1]
