  • Just forty one inmates remain at the infamous Guantanamo Bay prison. But outside of the detention centre, more than 5,000 American troops and hundreds of staff call the US territory home.
    Our reporter Harry Horton has been to Guantanamo Bay to look at the people and leisure facilities that sit awkwardly alongside the world’s most notorious prison.

The beach was fun cus the one officer threw a setting down party . Only negative thing was having to walk back drunk from the bars to the ship and the banana rats and big lizards .

      I'm biased towards them simply because I had to do a book report on them when I was in 3rd grade and no one in the class had ever heard of them before, including me, so it was the only book report everyone actually paid attention to and I got a great grade on it. #nostaliga
