</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Little Guantanamos. This is the phrase that some are using to

describe prisons known as communications management units, CMUs, highly

secretive and dubious of legality. And they're right here in the United

States. And an estimated 70 people might be held there. CMUs, largely

unknown to the general public and media, are rarely granted access.

Well, one journalist was recently able to get inside one of them in

Marion, Illinois. And he joins us now to share what he saw. Will Potter

is an investigative journalist and TED senior fellow, and author of the

book Green Is The New Red: An Insider's Account of Social Movements

under Siege.</font></p><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Watch: Interview with The Real News Network. Full transcript below:</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">PERIES:

So Will, I guess on everyone's minds is how did you manage to get

inside the prison? And of course, once you got inside, what did you see?</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><b>POTTER:

Well, journalists are not allowed in CMUs</b>. But I had been writing about

one prisoner in particular for quite some time. From the day of his

arrest I'd followed him all the way through the legal process, up

through his conviction. And so I was able to able to visit Daniel

McGowan, who's an environmentalist who is in the CMU, as a friend. And I

was quite surprised by that, even, because I'd uncovered evidence that

the counterterrorism unit had been monitoring my work and speeches about

CMUs and writing about CMUs that I had done. But I quickly found out

how that happened<b>. And it's because Daniel was told that if I asked any

questions or if I reported about our visit that he would be punished for

my work. And when I arrived at the prison I was reminded of the fact

that I was not allowed to ask him any questions. Nevertheless, it was an

important insight into how CMUs operate, and an opportunity to see this

from a perspective that other journalists have not been able to.</b></font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">PERIES: And what does one have to do to be relegated to one of these prisons? How is the process determined?</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">POTTER:

That's exactly the problem, is that we don't know. Even considering

lawsuits that are pending right now, we still don't have clear answers

to that question. All the prisoners I've talked to were transferred to

the CMU without any warning. They were just notified in the middle of

the night or early morning, and then sent off to this secretive unit

without explanation. When they asked for some opportunity to appeal

their designation, or some explanation for what has happened and why

they're there, they were either ignored or answered in very simplistic

terms, and not really elaborated. For some of them it was clearly

because of their political beliefs. We found out through legal

proceedings and open records requests that the government sent some

people to CMUs because of their, quote, anti-government and

anti-corporate views. For other prisoners I think it is quite clearly

because of their race and religion. The majority of prisoners in CMUs

are Muslim, and many of them have connections to very dubious terrorism

prosecutions that involve FBI informants and potential entrapment, even.

So that's really the breakdown of these prison units right now.</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">PERIES: And the communications management units, why are they called that?</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">POTTER:

I think that's a really good point. As a writer and someone who is very

careful about language, I admire the creativity and how benign that

title is, of communications management unit. It sounds very

straightforward. And it almost gives the perception that other prisoners

do not have their communications managed. That's simply not the case,

though. Every communication with every prisoner in a federal prison is

monitored. It's received by prison officials. The letters are reviewed.

Phone calls can be reviewed. All visitation is monitored. The question

then is why are some prisoners singled out for much harsher treatment?

And like I said, we don't have a good answer to that. But we've begun to

see some of the government's rationale. And that really boils down to

their political beliefs.</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">PERIES: And the other

curious term behind all of this is the term 'inspirational

significance'. What does that mean, and how are prisoners classified as

such?</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">POTTER: So as I was saying, the CMUs were

opened secretly, and in many people's opinion, illegally. They didn't go

through any administrative oversight. And only until years later did we

start seeing some language describing what these prison units are

supposed to do. And the government described them as facilities for

prisoners with, quote, inspirational significance. And I think that's a

very, again, very benign and quite brilliant way of describing what I

think in any other environment would be considered political prisons for

political prisoners. People are sent to the CMU because of their race

and their religion and their political beliefs. In Daniel McGowan's

case, for instance, I think he clearly has inspirational significance in

relation to the social movements that he advocates for on environmental

issues, on conservation, on climate change and things like that. And

all of this, his writings about this while imprisoned, ended up in

counterterrorism unit files and were used as evidence of why he should

be imprisoned in a CMU.</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">PERIES: And tell us a little bit more about his case. How did he end up in this classified prison?</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">POTTER:

So <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>Daniel McGowan,</b></span> like all the other prisoners in CMUs, has been

convicted of crimes. In his case he was convicted of participating in

two arsons in the name of the Earth Liberation Front, which is a

clandestine group which has used property destruction in the name of

defending the environment. But like all the other prisoners in the CMUs,

or I should say almost all the prisoners, he had no disciplinary

violations, and he had no communications violations. He was previously

at a low-security prison. In other words, he didn't have anything on his

record prior to going to prison or after being incarcerated that would

reflect this need for heightened security measures, which I think makes

it even more clear of being singled out because of his political

beliefs.</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">PERIES: And how did you manage to

convince the prison authorities to allow you as a friend into the prison

if he's under such surveillance, as far as his communications is

concerned?</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">POTTER: I was--it didn't take any

convincing on my part. I mean, I just submitted my request, just as any

visitor would. It didn't take any convincing on Daniel's part, either,

which is quite surprising. It was approved, really, without any fanfare

until, like I said, McGowan was told that if I wrote anything about our

visit he would be punished. And then when I arrived I was told they knew

all about my work, they knew about interviews on Democracy Now! and in

places like that, and that if I asked him any questions the visit would

be immediately terminated.</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">PERIES: And how many of these kinds of prisons are there, and also answer whether--why these are in Indiana and Illinois.</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">POTTER:

There are two CMUs that we know about. One is in Marion, Illinois and

the other is in Terre Haute, Indiana. They both exist within larger

federal prisons. So they are really prisons within prisons. They were

opened, as I was saying before, without any oversight or accountability.

There are similar facilities, such as in Carswell, the prison in Texas

for women, but that are not being called communications management unit

but seem to restrict prisoners in similar ways. And really, the story is

still emerging on that, of how--what the government's plans are. If

there will be additional CMUs. There's a move to make these facilities

permanent now rather than experimental. And we don't know how that's

going to play out.</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">PERIES: And the restrictive

nature for the media is something that's written, or did you, did anyone

tell you as a journalist you're not allowed to enter this prison? And

if so, why?</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">POTTER: Yeah. It's communicated in

several ways. It's through some of the procedural moves that I mentioned

about going through the official process now to make these facilities

permanent. It's also been communicated and exposed through a lawsuit by

the Center for Constitutional Rights, which is taking on the case of

Daniel McGowan and others, and advocating for prisoners within the CMU.

And as part of that they've obtained, must be thousands of pages of

documents through the discovery process, which I was able to use in my

presentation with TED to an extent as well. And also through direct

communication to me, when I was there at the facility.</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">PERIES:

Right. And you say many of these prisoners are Muslim. Is there any

reason to believe that any of these prisoners, Muslim or otherwise, are

any security threat to us in the U.S.?</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">POTTER: No,

not at all. I mean, I think that really speaks to the discriminatory

nature of these prison units, is that spectre and that fear, that

outright racist stereotyping, is being used to create this fear of this

community that frankly doesn't exist. The Muslim community that is

imprisoned in the CMUs are not the Zacarias Moussaouis of the world.

They're not the 9/11 hijackers, they're not anything like that. They're

people like [Yasin Arif] who is an imam from upstate New York who was

asked to bear witness to a loan, and it turned out one of the people

that he was, that was involved in that loan, was an undercover FBI agent

who was trying to entrap someone else in a fake attack. And Arif didn't

know anything about it. So it was really a manufactured plot that Arif

found himself wrapped up in, and as a result of that ended up eventually

in the CMU. Those are the types of cases that we're talking about here....</font></div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"></font>
