Since 2002, it is the lowest population of 93 prisoners left at Guantanamo  Rather than in 2003, there were 680 prisoners. Ten prisoners from Yemen were held at Guantanamo Bay and were sent to Oman for resettlement.  Government officials are working to transfer prisoners to other secure locations because of Barack Obamas goal of closing the prion. Barack Obama has tried to close the prison because he wants to close that chapter in our history. The remaining 93 prisoners are awaiting to hear what other secured prisons can take them, anticipating that 40 more prisoners will be transferred by the summer.
