Coast Guard Eyes Leasing Civilian Jail Ship to Hold Detainees

After a year in which the Coast Guard made a record number of maritime drug interdictions and sent unprecedented numbers of drug smugglers to the United States to stand trial, the service is considering the possibility of investing in a platform that would do nothing but hold detainees until they can be transported to the mainland.

Last November, The New York Times published an investigative story decrying the conditions under which suspected smugglers are held aboard Coast Guard vessels, sometimes for weeks or months at a time.

Sounds ok to me.

Bring the prisoners to just outside of the international waters of their countries of origin, then put 'em into small boats (with food, water, and a motor) and let' em go!
