| | In such a case, the State holding the prisoner in immediate confinement acts as agent for the demanding State, and the custodian State is presumably indifferent to the resolution of the prisoner's attack on the detainer. | | | And the language later in the dissent explaining the consequences of the Court's decision to find jurisdiction over the prisoners in Guantanamo, and what that means for the future, is quite apt, and appears to have been entirely ignored by the majority. | | | Indeed, if "jurisdiction and control" rather than sovereignty were the test, so should the Landsberg Prison in Germany, where the United States held the Eisentrager detainees. |

| | The ill treatment of prisoners at concentration camps in Wuppertal, Bredow and Hohnstein (Saxony), under the jurisdiction of local SA leaders, provoked a sharp protest from the ministry of justice. | | | During WWII the feeble resistance of the Ministry if Justice was weakened still further as alleged criminals were increasingly dealt with by the Gestapo and SD, without recourse to any court of law. | | | At first Guertner also tried to protect the independence of the judiciary and a remnant ofl egal norms, especially against the high handed, arbitrary and brutal methods of the SA, who in the summer of 1933 came into conflict with the police and the administrative organs of the state. |
