| Guantánamo guards and cooperative captives alike are grappling with the stench of prisoners who have made themselves filthy inside the Pentagon’s maximum-security Supermax-style prison in southeast Cuba. |

#10 I would include a moderately waterproof storage area for them to put their prayer rug and Koran Why? The hose is only required if the prisoner doesn't cooperate; it's their choice whether the Koran gets bathed in their filth or not. We should not take into onto ourselves to treat their "holy" book with more respect than they accord it. |

| #9 ScotchBrite, scrub brushes, bleach and disinfectant applied directly to the inmate. Scrub until raw, spray them down with the solution. Rinse and repeat as required. |

| #7 skidmark: That comment has been made for years by prison guards throughout the US. Many inmates are downright scatological, throwing their urine and feces. They also spit and openly masturbate. In recent years, some even cut themselves enough to get a cup or two of blood to add to the mix, knowing that they have hepatitis C or HIV. |

| #4 Nothing comes out if nothing goes in. Throw sh*t at me, no more food for a week. Throw p*ss at me, no more water for a day. |

| #3 Firehoses are a reasonable alternative, but cells have to be designed so that they can be used there. This means cells that are more like they are at ADX Florence, with concrete beds and desks, a shower and toilet whose water shuts off if their drains are plugged. In the case of Gitmo, in such cells I would include a moderately waterproof storage area for them to put their prayer rug and Koran, along with any other authorized small items. Procedure would be to remove them from their cell, make them strip and put them in a shower room with water cycles that contained anti-louse, then soap, then rinse, then deodorizer water. While they're in there, their clothing would be washed with deodorizer added, and their personal stuff would be removed from storage and cleaned as needed, then their cell would be hit with a de-greaser, then soap foam with bleach substitute, then rinsed into a secure drain in the floor. Done on a weekly basis, the place would be quite pristine, excepting when they threw their urine and feces. So it is also a good idea to have an easy to clean corridor as well. |

| #1 Dogs like to roll in urine too; I guess they both like the way it makes them smell. |
