"Librarians at Guantanamo Bay’s prison detention center have had to up
their stock of the popular 1990s TV show 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,'
starring Will Smith... The 168 captives currently residing at the U.S. prison base in Cuba have
access to an extensive entertainment selection: the main library houses
18,000 books, 2,730 movies, 390 video games, and 1,235 magazines."
"In 2005, an American Forces Press Service report
noted that Arabic translations of Agatha Christie novels were hot
commodities on the camp library’s shelves, according to a security
official. Since then, the Harry Potter books enjoyed a period of
success, as did the self-help book 'Don’t Be Sad,' which discusses
happiness from an Islamic perspective. The library even stocks video
games like Madden NFL."
