Force Feeding Prisoners: Some Standard Operating Procedures at Gitmo

This is from Harper's Magazine, November,  2013. It is part of the current SOP for force feeding prisoners at Gitmo. 

"On occasion, a detainee undergoing enternal (sic) feeding (EF) will attempt to bite and swallow the feeding tube. The detainee may attempt to bite the portion of the tube outside the nose by turning his head and snaring the tube with his mouth, or may attempt to regurgitate the tube partially into the oral cavity and attempt to sever the tube covertly without opening his mouth. This is difficult to assess in the non-compliant detainee when it is necessary to affix a 'spit mask' over his mouth. If a detainee is actively attempting to turn his head to bite the tube between the nose and the EF bag, the RN will affix the tube to the midline of the detainee's nose and extend it upwards, affixing it with tape to the detainee's forehead."
