Camp Six
Camp Six, constructed by Halliburton, was modeled on US Federal medium-security penitentiaries.
It was constructed to have individual cells that surrounded and looked in on a communal mess area, where it was planned compliant detainees could interact for part of the day. However, while the building was still under construction, the decision was made to confine all detainees to their cells, except when they were taken to shower, taken for solitary exercise, or for official business. The communal areas were left unused. This transformed the facility to a high-security facility.
In April 2010 The Guardian published a photo essay, that showed that a TV had been installed in the common areas. Detainees were shackled to the floor during their TV privileges.

But the poet dwells alone.”
