Should Guantanamo aim to operate profitably?

I think any prison for profit is a tremendous mistake.

@flutherother Explain to me more how the business plan would run to get money into a government operated facility?
Have Trump threaten the foreign government to pay for a terrorist in Gitmo.

For profit prisons are at odds with the purpose of prisons.

@Tropical Willie My question is a little tongue in cheek but privatised prisons are now a fact and Gitmi looks like running indefinitely so who knows?

what foreign government would bother to pay?

Ya I know so maybe the 100,000 political prisoners in North Korea could shipped shipped to Gitmo and Trump would send a bill to Kim Jong-un.

It would enable Kim Jong-un to claim there are no political prisoners in his country.

And how, exactly, would you get any government to pay? This sounds rather like Trump’s asinine “we’ll make Mexico pay for the wall” bluster.

I meant this question to be satirical and not a serious proposition. To be clear I think imprisoning anyone without trial is wrong and that Guantanamo should be closed. I also think it is wrong to privatise prisons.
