Candace: In addition to this story here, also go to http://wearechangecolorado.org/ and see the top video, as some of them gained access to this detention center. Here is the commentary preceeding the video:
At it again trying to show everyone the tyrannical government oppression, We Are Change Colorado exposes the detention camps built for the DNC protesters. We Are Change members attempted to go into the camp to get exclusive footage and talk to the guards but were strictly warned to stay away. They did manage to get some footage of the camp and detail some new information about its location and description.
Apparently this is all being kept a secret facility, until now. We Are Change Colorado showed up at 3833 Steele St in Denver to get a glimpse of the draconian concentration camp style facility that has been designed to hold civilians during mass arrests. The place has virtually no bathrooms and one giant air conditioner.
Located right next to the facility is a large LZ (landing zone) for helicopters to land andload or unload their cargo. Also located between the warehouses are the railroad tracks. Like something out of a movie, this facility looks like a flash from the past as if Nazi Germany or the Japanese Internment camps. Political prisoners have always been discussed throughout history, but in the United States? It is becoming more and more like the playground of the New World Order Crazies.
Also, to the thugs who read here, ABSOLUTELY NO USE OF NERVE GASES, DEADLY GERMS AND THE LIKE AT THE DNC. YOUR LITTLE SECRETS ARE BEING FOUND OUT! AND EXPOSED. No trucking in gas canisters via little dogs, back packs, baby strollers and the like.
Also, Denver Police have created a brochure for the protestors at the event, stating it matters NOT the reason, if they are told to disperse, and don't they will face arrest. That is I assume what all those nice little 5yd X 5 yd cells are for at the detention center. Shame of you, pulling off what happened in New York at the RNC where people who were do nothing other than sitting in the park eating lunch, and were thrown into detention.
'Gitmo On The Platte' Set As Holding Cell For DNC
Written By Rick Sallinger
DENVER (CBS4) ¯ CBS4 News has learned if mass arrests happen at the Democratic Convention, those taken into custody will be jailed in a warehouse owned by the City of Denver. Investigator Rick Sallinger discovered the location and managed to get inside for a look.
The newly created lockup is on the northeast side of Denver. Protesters have already given this place a name: "Gitmo on the Platte."
Inside are dozens are metal cages. They are made out of chain link fence material and topped by rolls of barbed wire.
"This is a secured environment," Capt. Frank Gale of the Denver Sheriff's Department told CBS4. "We're concerned about how that's going to be utilized by people who will be potentially disruptive."
In past conventions, mass arrests have taken place.
With Denver's jails already overflowing, new space had to be created and officers trained.
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."
CBS4 showed its video to leaders of groups that plan to demonstrate during the convention.
"Very bare bones and very reminiscent of a political prisoner camp or a concentration camp," said Zoe Williams of Code Pink.
Williams was one of those arrested at the Republican Convention in New York in 2004.
"That's how you treat cattle," said Adam Jung of the group 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."
Gale would not discuss the facility at this time.
"We want to make sure we got our game plan set," he said, "We want to make sure the entire procedure is laid out all the personnel know what they are supposed to do."
The plans were to keep this lockup a secret, at least for now. The sheriff's department said late Tuesday the mayor's office would be releasing a statement about it early next week.
The American Civil Liberties Union is asking 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.
Mayor's Office News Release
On Wednesday afternoon Mayor John Hickenlooper's office sent a news release to CBS4 and other media explaining the purpose of the holding facility. It says there will be a community outreach program this week to explain the facility's function.
