This prison, which became operational on D September 2002,

detainee's inteiaction with the outside world was intended
to be limited to brief contact with the guards and more
extensive contact with his CIA interrogators. This allows
CIA personnel to control almost all aspects of the
detainees' existence. 5

during interrogation and placed back into their cells
wearing only diapers.
This is done solely to humiliate the
prisoner for , interrogation purposes. When the prisoner
soils a diaper, they are changed by the guards.
Sometimes
the guards run out of diapers and the prisoners are placed
back in their cells in a hand6rafted diaper secured by duct
tape.
If the guards don't have any available diapers, the
prisoners are rendered to their cell nude. 48

bucket used for human waste. Prisoners are given rewards
for cooperatiori. Rewards can consist of a light, -foamies"
for the prisoners' ears (blocks out the music),
music.), a mat to
sleep on, extra blankets, etc. Additionally, a luxury ~oo~
roo~
has been built which has a light, a tocking chair, a table,
and carpeting on the floor. Prisoners are not punished for
lack of cooperation. Instead, rewards that they have

Headquarters' requested
that psychologist ICsJessen and James E. Mitchell conduct
a psychological assessment exam of RAHMAN to determine
which interrogation measures would be required to render
RAHMAN compliant. The cable . stated
statect that Headquarters was
motivated to extract any and all operational information on
AI-Qa'ida and Hezbi Islami from RAHMAN. The cable noted
that it was the assessment of the debriefers that RAHMAN ·
may need to be subjected to enhanced interrogation measures
to induce him to comply.

Death Investigation - Gul RAHMAN

CONCLUSIONS
The evidence developed during the course of this
f~llowing;
investigation suggests the following;
o

There is no evidence to suggest that RAHMAN's death
was deliberate.

o

There · is no evidence to suggest that RAHMAN was
beaten, tortured; poisoned, strangled, or smothered.

o

Hypothermia was the most likely .cause
.c ause of death ofGul
. RAHMAN.

o

His death was not deliberate, but resulted from his
incarceration in a cold environment while nude from
th'e waist down, . and shackled in a position that
prevented him from moving around to keep warm.
Additionally, this kept him in direct contact with the
cold concrete floor leading to a loss of bodyheat
through conduction.

o

Gul RAHMAN's actions contributed to his own death. By
throwing his last meal he was unable to provide his
body with a source of fuel to keep him warm.
Additionally, his violent behavior iesulted in his
restraint which prevented him from generating body
heat by moving aro~nd and brought him in direct
contact with the
loss of bodyheat through
concrete flbor
flOor leading to a 1055
conduction.
