Enemy Combatants Or Whatever They Are To Be Moved

Enemy Combatants Or Whatever They Are To Be Moved

Much controversy has surrounded the moving, from Guantanamo in Cuba, of the enemy
combatants or whatever they are called that were taken into custody while trying to kill American or our allies’ soldiers. One of the high profile locations being investigated is the brig at Camp Pendleton. However there has been a torrent of objections from the many people living in the north coastal area of San Diego County to that possibility and they want to find a different location for the prisoners. The Marines discovered that the Old Julian Jail was not being used at all and that there also were not that many people in Julian to complain and so will be sending some of the prisoners here to Julian. Most agree it’s time the jail was put to good use. Obviously the jail won’t hold all the prisoners and so other locations will have to be selected like the old Yuma Territorial Prison, which is also not housing any prisoners at this time. The Julian Jail was recently upgraded and restored and so provided an attractive alternative. It is seen as a real boon in business for Julian restaurants, since there are no kitchen facilities at the jail and all
meals would have to be catered. The only benefit to the other businesses would probably be the Julmo tee shirts that could be sold, but at least a little stimulus would come to Julian.
