An illustration by Hazel Newlevant shows author Sarah Mirk on a visit to the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
Hazel Newlevant, Sarah Mirk
Portland journalist and author Sarah Mirk worked with a team of illustrators from around the world to create “Guantanamo Voices: True Accounts from the World’s Most Infamous Prison.” The chapters are based on interviews with former prisoners, members of the military and lawyers for people who are still incarcerated at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. We hear from Mirk about the book and what she learned along the way.
