A Bit of the Guantanamo Prison In Portland, Maine

Visitors to Portland, Maine's Monument Square will see a little more than they expected this weekend.

Representatives from Amnesty International arrived Thursday with a 1650 pound structure. It's a replica of a cell that holds prisoners at the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

The cell has been on tour of the east coast and is part of an effort to hasten the prison's closing. It'll be in Portland through Saturday.
