Requirements Non USA territory, Isolated, No Resources, Little land suitable for food production

What about an old Navy ship? Remove the engines and anything else that would be useful or would make life unnecessarily pleasant, like heat and air conditioning. Drop food on them every once in a while.

If it is good enough for our sailors, it ought to be good enough for them.

Yes. Years ago, I got the idea of using mothballed ships as prisons and as shelters for the homeless. The ships are just wasting yet they have all the facilities necessary or could be modified at minimal cost. The required maintenance would provide work and vocational training for unemployed people of all ages.

The ship would be considered USA territory which was the main purpose of using Gitmo. It is not USA it is leased, if they step on USA land they can claim civil rights abuse.
