I can not understand why all the inmates are not sent to this new prison, tried and assessed to see if they are innocent or guilty? If they are innocent reward them for the inconvenience put them on a plane and send them home.

US President Barack Obama has ordered the federal government to buy a prison in Illinois to take a number of inmates from Guantanamo Bay.

The move is a key part of Mr Obama's plan to close the Cuba-based jail.

The number of inmates for transfer to the Thomson Correctional Center has not officially been given, but US media report it could be between 35 and 90.

Senior officials said security would be upgraded, making Thomson the most secure jail in the country.
