麦克·邦加纳:邦加纳被任命为关塔那摩监狱指挥官,最初认为管理监狱不会太难。他发现监狱的安保措施过于严格,纪律措施存在问题,警卫文化存在问题。他试图通过大规模改革来改善监狱的状况,并参考《日内瓦公约》。他实施了一个新的等级制度,并设立了“十一月区”作为惩罚措施。他与阿什特进行了面对面的会谈,达成了协议,改善了监狱的条件,并解决了警卫的姓名标签问题。但他对囚犯的了解有限,这影响了他的决策。在监狱再次爆发暴力事件后,他的策略发生了转变,他开始采取更强硬的措施来控制监狱,包括使用强制喂食椅。他认为自己取得了成功,使监狱恢复了平静,但他对囚犯的处境缺乏足够的考虑。 叙述者:叙述了邦加纳在关塔那摩监狱的经历,包括他面临的挑战、采取的措施以及由此产生的后果。叙述者描述了关塔那摩监狱的恶劣环境、严重的公共关系问题、虐待指控和性丑闻,以及囚犯的反抗和饥饿罢工。叙述者还介绍了邦加纳与囚犯之间的谈判,以及他最终使用强制喂食椅来控制监狱的局面。 阿什特:阿什特对他在与邦加纳谈判中的作用感到矛盾。他认为邦加纳的努力改善了监狱的条件,但他认为邦加纳没有解决关塔那摩监狱的核心问题——囚犯被非法拘留。他担心自己与邦加纳的合作可能会向当局传递错误的信息,让当局误以为囚犯对现状感到满意。
