The claim: Tucson, 11,000
What it really is: A major Air Force base in Arizona.
While the base itself contains several large buildings, none of them appear to be the types you would find in a prison cam,. The base is also surrounded by numerous houses, making hiding anything like a prison camp difficult.

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
The claim: US Marine Corps Base - Presently home to 30,000 Mariel Cubans and 40,000 Albanians. Total capacity unknown.
What it really is: Actually it's a navy base, not a Marine base.
Most of the Mariel Cubans that left Cuba actually ended up in the United States, not Guantanamo Bay, and while Cuban refugees do occasionally slip into Guantanamo Bay, the amount of refugees living there is no where near the 30,000 being claimed. In fact the most ever held there was 10,000 refugees.
There were Kosovar Albanian refugees there in the late 1990's, but only up to 10,000 were there at the most, and it was temporary until they were later resettled in the United States, or went back home to Kosovo.

Ft. Meade, Maryland
The claim: Halfway between the District of Criminals and Baltimore. Data needed.
What it really is: Fort George G. Meade Army base is the home to the National Security Agency, the United States Cyber Command, and the Defense Courier Service (all of which I imagine the sovereign citizens movement hates...) amongst other things.
There is also a lot of housing and even businesses around there as well. Also, while there are a bunch of large buildings in this area, none of them resemble prison camps.
The lack of information, combined with the fact that whomever made this claim didn't even know that several intelligence agencies were located here leads me to believe that this claim is bogus.

Warsaw, Missouri
The claim: Unconfirmed report of a large concentration camp facility.
What it really is: Using Google maps the largest facilities that I found there was a Walmart and a U-Haul dealer. Nothing there even comes close to looking like a FEMA camp.
