There must a left-wing conspiracy. Check out this post from Right Wing News about “concentraion camps” in the U.S.

If you go the link about “concentration camps” in Mississippi, notice the language the signs are in. The photos are from Bosnia!!!

RW,

ask the inhumanity

Exactly – an thank you for being as shocked as the rest of us.

And yes, plasma screens would ease the pain a little.

SA,

Staging beheadings, requires individuals that actually know what they are doing!

Well, Sarge, just imagine the CIA guys trying to hack somebody’s head off.
They would need years, I mean years, of post-traumatic councelling just on hearing the news they would have to think about it.
Probably, the potential victims would have to comfort them:
“Hey, look it wasn’t all that bad!”

I’m sure the kidnappers have the Muslim neighborhoods in NSW in their hearts and wouldn’t want to do a thing that could cause them upset. So i’m sure Wood will be returned ASAP. Heh.

One TV per room? Doesn’t that qualify as cruel and unusual punishment? I’m with you RW.

Below is an extract from the Web-Site of The Immigration Minister. It would pay us all to have a good look at it so that we are in a position to let people know the facilities that are available to Illegal Entrants to our country. There are also pics of various areas and facilities on the site.

Baxter Detention Centre

Opening of Centre
Baxter IRPC was opened in July 2002.

Capacity
Baxter IRPC accommodates 660 detainees (nominal capacity) and has a contingency capacity for an additional 220 detainees (surge capacity).

Current Numbers
The total number of detainees at Baxter IRPC as at 11 May is 228. This number comprises 202 adult men, 24 adult women and 2 children.

Baxter IRPC is an essential element in the Government’s long term strategy for immigration detention facilities in respect of unauthorised boat arrivals. The facility allows a reduction on the reliance of older, less suitable facilities and enhance the focus to purpose designed facilities, to enable the provision of higher levels of both security and amenity.

The Baxter IRPC also provides the DIMIA Adelaide office with a facility in which to detain any visa over-stayers located in South Australia.

Available Services
A number of rooms have an interconnecting door to the next room, which can be locked or left open for family groups. Two of the compounds have rooms equipped to cater for people with disabilities.

The buildings are placed to create a rectangular common space. Each open area within the accommodation compounds has been grassed and landscaped.

Education Complex
The education complex has capacity for up to 200 students at any given time. It includes facilities catering for younger children, two playgrounds and two-shaded playing/educational areas.

Visitors Centre
The visitors centre caters for both indoor and outdoor visits. It has a children’s playground, a kitchenette and a parenting room.

Health Services Complex
The health services complex for primary health care is equipped to enable a comprehensive range of medical services to be provided on-site. The complex consists of a triage room, waiting room, a 5 bed observation area, 4 consulting rooms for medical practitioners, a pharmacy, an x-ray room and an administration office with records management facilities.

Management Unit
The management unit comprises 10 single ensuite rooms, each with an intercom and CCTV monitoring, a dining/recreation room, a television room and two outside recreation courtyards. The rooms may be used for people who are at risk of self harm and who cannot be properly supervised in accommodation compounds or the medical complex, and for people who represent a risk to others or otherwise require single accommodation for a period of time.

Recreation
An area in each accommodation compound has been set aside for recreation purposes. Facilities include:

Entertainment facilities: Televisions, Austar cable TV, videos, play station and computers.
Various Australian and foreign language newspapers appropriate to the detainee population are provided wherever possible.

Ginger,
Thank you so much for the extract from the Web-Site of The Immigration Minister and the link.
I am sure our readers will be interested to learn about the real conditions at the centre.

Dee,

How do they explain all these instances of violence and bigotry among detainees.

Yes indeed.
It is very strange that there is so much resentment to our culture from the very people who try to settle here to improve their existence.
