Guantanamo Bay.
The US military abbreviation of the base located there is GTMO, which is pronounced either "gee-tee-em-oh", or "Gitmo". On this base is located Camp X-Ray.
The land is on lease from Cuba to the US, which means that it is not technically US soil; this is used as a loophole to allow activities in camp X-Ray that would in the US be against the letter of the constitution, such as detaining people without pressing charge or giving them access to a lawyer. Whether these practices are permissible is the source of hot debate, as they are clearly against the *spirit* of the constitution.
Because of this lack of legislation, Camp X-Ray is the place where the US holds people suspected of terrorism. Apart from the aforementioned lack of rights, it is also reported that inmates are maltreated and abused, both physically and mentally.
Access to Guantanamo Bay is very limited: human rights organisations and members press have hardly any access, and the same goes for those few lawyers that have clients there. (The majority of inmates does not have access to an attorney.)
In summary, Guantanamo Bay is a place where the US government does not deem itself bound by any law, and it appears to use that fact to abuse inmates away from the prying eyes of the world.

The U.S's prison for "enemy combatants" which legally have no rights because the land is on lease from Cuba and technically not US Soil.

A place in the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base in Cuba where Islamic terrorist go to be pampered in relative luxury (relative from where they came that is)
Guests are given a Free Koran and prayer rug upon arrival.
Amenities include three professionaly prepared meals a day, opertunities to pray to allah five times a day and a warm bed.
Rack rates are reasonable as they only require your cooperation in questioning. Failure to cooperate will not get you kicked out though... The most they will do will turn off the air conditioning (or leave it on) but it's not as bad as getting your head cut off with a dul knife while you're still awake!

Term used by men assigned to Guantanmo Bay Naval Base to describe the inadequate and below average females assigned there with them. Implies that almost every chick on the island is fuckable because there are so few of them. Anywhere else in the world the same chicks wouldn't even rate a second glance. Ratio of men to women usually hoovers around 80:1 and the cockblocking between men just to shag some below average skank is ridiculous.
Shane: "That babe is a Gitmo Ten!"
Jim: "Yeah, she's only one flight away from being ugly again."
Shane: "I'm goin' for it. Make sure Wade doesn't try to cockblock me."
