Firsthand testimonies from Guantánamo Bay, inspiring potential generations to never repeat the human being rights violations of the detention center.

Rules scholar and See to Guantánamo founder Peter Jan Honigsberg uncovers a haunting portrait of life on the military prison and its own toll, not merely over the detainees and themselves but also on it is army and civilian personnel as well as the journalists who reported onto it.

Honigsberg conducted 158 interviews across 20 countries so that the people who about A Place Outside the Laws: Forgotten Voices from Guantanamo lived and worked there might tell their heartbreaking and inspirational stories.

Brandon Neely, a prison guard who processed the first group of suspected operatives to arrive in Cuba, flew to London to embrace the detainees he guarded after leaving the armed service. Navy whistleblower Matt Diaz covertly released the titles of 500 detainees by sending them in a greeting cards to a lawyer in NY. Journalist Carol Rosenberg dedicated days gone by 17 years of her career to documenting existence at Guantánamo. And Damien Corsetti, an interrogator who came to be known as the “Ruler of Torture,” received ribbons and awards for the same cruel actions for which he was later prosecuted.

In startling, aching prose, A LOCATION Outside the Law shines a light on these unheard voices, and through them, encourages the global community to embrace humanity as our most significant tool to help make the world a safer place.
