DENVER -- Individuals arrested at the Democratic National Convention will be processed at an industrial warehouse with chain-link cells topped by razor wire, a facility some have compared to the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay.
...
Video footage of the north Denver warehouse on Denver’s KCNC-TV showed coils of razor wire topping chain-link cells. A sign read: “Electric stun devices used here.”
Gale said each cell will be about 20-by-20 feet. He refused to say how many people could be processed there.
“It’s just ridiculous, the thing looks like a dog pound,” said Mark Cohen of the protest group Recreate-68 Alliance. “Even if you only put dogs in there, people will be complaining about it. I think you ought to have the Red Cross and Amnesty International come take a look at this thing.”

What is "Recreate 68"?
What is being planned for the 2008 Democratic National Convention?
Why does the city of Denver feel the need to construct such an elaborate, high-security temporary prison?
