The city of Denver owns an old warehouse along the Platte River that will be used in case of mass arrests during the convention.
Local jails are overcrowded so the old warehouse will be used. Channel 4 calls the old building “Gitmo on the Platte.”
Inside the old warehouse there are dozens of metal cages. They are made out of chain link fence material and topped by rolls of barbed wire (pictured below).
Each of the fenced areas is about 5 yards by 5 yards and there is a lock on the door. A sign on the wall reads "Warning! Electric stun devices used in this facility."
"Very bare bones and very reminiscent of a political prisoner camp or a concentration camp," said Zoe Williams of Code Pink.
"That's how you treat cattle," said Adam Jung of the group from Tent State University. "You showed the sign where it said stun gun in use and you just change the word gun for bolt and it's a meat processing plant."
The American Civil Liberties Union says it will ask the City of Denver how prisoners will get access to food and water, bathrooms, telephones, plus medical care, and if there will be a place to meet with attorneys.
