The claim: Dept. of National Defense reserve
What it really is: The Department of National Defence is largest employer there, which means is that it employs both military and civilians. The largest base in Canada (in terms of personnel) CFB Halifax, is surrounded by both residential and commercial buildings, which would make it very difficult to hide an interment camp there (not to mention there isn't much space there to build a prison camp either).

Not only is the base very vast, it also doesn't contain that many buildings, and none are large enough, or in large enough concentrations to even look like a prison camp.

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.

Topeka, Kansas
The claim: 80 acres has been converted into a temporary holding camp.
What it really is: I've taken a look at Topeka using Google maps, and there aren't many places within the city limits that are empty, nor is there any places that look like a holding camp.
