The Andersonville camp was an awful, murderous place for Union soldiers to be held prisoners in. It was established in Andersonville, Georgia by General John H. Winder and nearly 13,000 men died over the fourteen months the prison had been in operation. These Union prisoners suffered in the nasty condition of the camp and had little to no clothes, food rations and medical care. At the end of the Civil War, Captain Henry Wirz was questioned in court for committing crimes against humanity and was later executed after being labeled guilty by the court. However, Captain Henry Wirz did not commit any crimes against humanity in the Andersonville prison camp and should not have been punished with death due to the fact that he was only following the inhumane orders of General John H. Winder.…

As puritans back in 1692 and prisoners at Guantanamo Bay since 2002, there is always going to be changes just as well as similarities. One could say that Guantanamo Bay and the legal process/human rights aspects of the Salem witch trials are insanely similar but very different. They are right-there are many similarities and difference between the two. Guantanamo Bay is a detention camp to keep prisoners that are supposedly linked to terrorism held captive while they are caught during war. Now, for the Salem witch trials puritans were all about God and making sure that if you are not with God you are with the Devil. Although there are many similarities between Guantanamo Bay and the legal process/human rights aspects of the Salem witch trials; there are also differences between the two that are very interesting.…
Traditionally, a folded flag in the symmetrical triangle often means the remembrance of a loved one lost in a military conflict while defending our country’s way of life.

The Abu Ghirab prison was the most horrific, brutal and dehumanizing thing I have even come across. The level of suffering the inmates experienced words cannot express how terrifying it is. There were male as well as female and even worst, children was in that dreadful place. They were treated worse than animals in my opinion, I cannot see in no one lives they should have to encounter such gruesome experience. The Stanford prison experiment was conducted on August 14th to 20th, 1971.The team of researchers were led by professor Phillip Zimbardo.This experiment was conducted with college students. This experiment was also dehumanizing although the prisoners were forced to engage in many events, such as defecating in buckets and used their hands…
