The Obama administration has decided prisoners at the controversial Guantanamo Bay prison will be transferred to a jail in rural Illinois.
The US Government will buy the Thomson Correctional Centre from the Illinois government and the Department of Defence will lease part of the prison to house detainees from the prison in Cuba.

Lt. Col. Allen West will probably have plenty to say about that tonight on Hannity.
This crew is a bunch of first class nit-wits.
If they managed to get out, it would be in Hussein’s home state.
This should be a real treat to watch. First the jobs won’t appear and then the islamderthals, the ACLU and every anti war weenie in the world will descend on the place.
The terrorists must really to be happy to be getting out of that tropical hell hole with those nasty ocean breezes. It’ll really be a relief for them to get four square concrete walls around them for a change. What a humanitarian Obama is.
Is Gitmo now going to be closed and we leave Cuba or are we now paying for a new jail facility and continue to fund Gitmo?
It is a conservative part of the state. There is supposed to be a public discussion about the sale in Sterling Illinois on the 22nd. Quinn already said he does not have to listen to any of the comments.
And we are closing this prison in Cuba so we can bring these maggots to our homeland......WHY?
Illinois loses the Olympics but gets 50 skinny terrorist and assorted Mideastern religious gang members...
Thank you, Mr. B was one of those idiot guards. Any you don't think no one would care about their endless string of complaints? Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Lawyers will falling all over themselves filing complaint after complaint after complaint and getting them all sorts of special treatment and perks. They'll get mail privileges and somehow a cell phone will get slipped in to them. By the time they get all their US civil rights, they'll be voting for presidents.
My question is: How could there be an empty prison in Illinois ... just saying ....
I don’t think FR will allow the verbiage that I intended to use to describe the domestic terrorists in our government in charge of foreign terrorists. You can figure out the words by yourselves.
Obama’s job creation program in action. Just think, thousands of new jobs created to watch over and keep us safe from these murdering scum. Can’t wait until we get one of these great new job providing federal prisons in our town. Woo hoo!!
Now if we could only arrange to put ‘Zero’ in a cell beside them!
They won’t get out, but you can bet, now that there’s an easier and more convenient target, that their terrorist sympathizers here in the states will target that prison for retaliation.
I hope that the anti-war protesters realize they are offering a convenient target for anyone that wants to commit jihad in support of his compatriots in the nearbuy prison.
Thomson Correctional Center is a safe maximum-security environment. Prison design, movement patterns and programming options will allow a strong community of order to be maintained. Inmates will be monitored under constant armed and electronic surveillance. Education, mental health services, recreation and skilled development will be available to inmates as mandatory and or voluntary programming options. These choices, under professional guidance, are opportunities for inmates to enrich their lives with the tools necessary for successful living.
Thomson Correctional Center is a Level 1 adult male maximum-security facility comprised of 1,600 cells and eight housing units. The facility also has a 200-bed minimum-security unit. The facility is 146 acres and consists of 15 buildings, totaling 625,000 square feet. Construction in the cell houses is pre-cast, reinforced cement walls. The facility is enclosed by a 12-foot exterior fence and 15-foot interior fence, which includes a dual sided electric stun fence.
As previously posted what a change from those nasty tropical breezes, sun and fresh air.
I believe there are also some constitutional issues with civilian guards guarding foreign enemies like this.
