Taxpayers pay $800,000 to house each Gitmo captive per year

McClatchy's Carol Rosenberg reports that the U.S. government detention center in Guantanamo Bay is arguably the priciest prison in the world, with taxpayers shelling out $800,000 per year for each prisoner housed there. There's still no plan in place to close the prison, which still contains 171 detainees. More than 600 previous Gitmo detainees have been transfered to other countries since the center opened in 2002.
