Tranquility Bay Closed
Widely hated torture camp Tranquility Bay has closed down. Jamaican government officials have confirmed that the last inmate left the country on 5 January, 2009. All equipment from Tranquility Bay is being sold. It is believed that the closure is due to new passport requirements and illegal loans.
Tranquility Bay was known for abusive tactics to encourage "proper" behaviour in its inmates. Complaints have included physical attack (sometimes resulting in broken bones), sexual assault, and food deprivation (all of which clearly violate articles five and nine of UDHR). Inmates were always taken as children, usually kidnapped with parental approval while they slept. Although inmates were legally required to be given the option of leaving at the age of eighteen, many were unable to, as they could not make arrangements to return home.

"inmates were always taken as children, usually kidnapped with parental approval while they slept."
Parental approval? you mean to tell me that parents allow strangers from a torture camp to take their children while they are asleep?? My god that stuff like this still occurs today.
Well on the bright side, a torture camp is closed for good but now we still have a couple hundred more to go.
Thank fucking Lord.
Thank god
I went there the fact that it's closed is a god send. I'm glad it's closed but to be perfectly honest it shouldn't have taken so long to close. My parents are still mindless program zombies. Me I suffer from the occasional nervousness of being back there. Nightmares and possibly PTSD granted i haven't been to see a shrink in years and why bother when I now my own mental state. The place made me into a person cause certain staff helped me through the hell hole that was once tranquility bay. I'm happy it's closed now for the rest of the WWASP to get shut down.
