<P> The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a United States military prison located within Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, also referred to as Guantánamo or GTMO (/ ˈɡɪtmoʊ /), which is on the coast of Guantánamo Bay in Cuba . Since the inmates have been detained indefinitely without trial and several inmates were allegedly severely tortured, the operations of this camp are considered to be a major breach of human rights by Amnesty International . </P> <P> The camp was established by President George W. Bush's administration in 2002 during the War on Terror . His successor, President Barack Obama, promised that he would close it, but met strong bipartisan opposition, with Congress passing laws to prohibit detainees from Guantanamo being imprisoned in the U.S. During Obama's administration, the number of inmates was reduced from about 245 to 41; most former detainees were freed and transferred to other countries . In January 2018, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to keep the prison camp open indefinitely . </P>
