Reginald Raymond · Answer 1

TRUE

Explanation:

Anyone arrested in the United States has certain rights under the Constitution or laws, including a rapid trial, the right to hear charges to promote defense, and the right to Habeas Corpus. However, in the case of Guantanamo Bay none of these rights are respected. Prisoners cannot even defend themselves against charges simply because there are no formal charges against them. This is because the American legal system has the understanding that the American judicial system does not apply in Guantanamo Bay, which is Cuban territory.
