Inside Guantanamo Bay's Kitchen: The Politics of Food | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
You’ve probably read, watched, or heard something controversial about the Guantanamo Bay detention camp since it started housing suspected terrorists in 2002. This past year, most media has centered around hunger strikes—which is one of the most well-known ways that prisoners protest their indefinite detainment—and the subsequent force-feeding they endure. Last year, there were over 100 detainees on hunger strike. But what about the detainees that are eating? Fortunately for them, there's Sam, the cheery middle-aged Korean chef that takes pride in each meal she whips up. Sam makes chicken eight different ways, prepares both Halal and Kosher meals, and bakes an impressive assortment of cookies. And every ingredient used in her kitchen comes from … you guessed it … America. Our host Gianna Toboni spent a few days last March on a riveting tour of Gitmo, from the cellblock to the prison library to the local mini golf course and the fascinating commissary. We don't know what was more surprising—the huge python that we encountered, or the interesting politics of the camp's kitchen.

"Wow, their food actually looks pretty good. Why don't I just go commit a crime near Guantanamo Bay and get access to their free food and other amenities?"
This is our freaking justice system at its finest. If I had my own country, the criminals in my jail would be eating almost-expired food and will only receive better meals if they have a track record of good behavior. All of the money that goes into this luxurious prison food comes from taxpayer money, and these people can pretty much kill more and more people and get punished with getting free food and doing nothing else for the rest of their lives.
Way to go, justice system. Way to freaking forget about the millions of people who are homeless or in poverty, and giving the good food to these twisted criminals instead. Way to waste our hard-earned money paying for beds and TVs to give these monsters a good life. Way to screw the rest of humanity by giving these criminals amenities and luxuries that many non-criminals don't even have.
Justice system, thank you for making me lose more and more faith in humanity!! -
Force-feeding is fucking scary.

They're living better than most prisoners on the mainland. Know that's not going to be a popular comment on a vice video.

FUCKING Olives in prison? WTF

Feed them dog food... They eat better than me.

It's like saying... Don't complain of tortures, illegal detentions, cramp spaces, psychological trauma because we are feeding you with the menu of your choice. " Food no matter how delicious will never compensate the desire for a man to be free. Gandhi did all his peaceful protests fasting. As much as I appreciate them giving the detained prisoners humane food, what we expect is the humane treatment and the right to be tried in a just and fair court of law...
