I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but it has to do with politics.

Apparently the city of Denver has created a detention center/prison for DNC protestors. Seems pretty brutal. See for yourself:

They're hardly "concentration camps." This is pretty common. At the last RNC, they did pretty much the same thing, and here in the Twin Cities they're probably going to do it to a parking garage.

Yeah it's quite a stretch to call them concentration camps. That doesn't mean that they are legitimate or right though.

They also have the "free speech zones" which are basically in cages from what I understand. Granted that the protesters aren't going to obey that as far as I know.

I hope that there will be good media coverage of the activities that are planned (I'm sure that Democracy Now! will do a pretty good job at least)

Concentration camp? It's one building, not a camp.

Having had lived in Denver for a while, I'm not surprised the city decided to build a replica of gitmo to put arrested protesters in. The warehouse they're using was previously used to house electronic voting machines, however the temperatures in the builing got so hot that the machines risked being harmed, so they moved the machines to another location. Apparently people can't be harmed by extreme heat.
