Dental care of Guantanamo Bay detainees
|
|
In 2009 Guantanamo captives' dental care is dispensed at two dental clinics on the Guantanamo Bay detention camps. There is a dental clinic at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps hospital for the captives, and a second clinic in the maximum security Camp 6. The camp's guards have a separate, third dental clinic served by the same dental staff of two dentists and four dental technicians. In 2005 a single dentist, Lieutenant Jennifer Tharp, was responsible for treating all the captives and all the guards. In 2005 captives arms and legs were shackled to the dental chair, and an armed guard was present at all times. In a July 2009 interview Commander Kenneth Bell said that it took several times longer to treat captives as it did to treat guards, for similar dental procedures, because captives didn't understand why the dental procedures were in the interest of their health. |
