CSHRA Note

A reading of the declassified portions of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service file released by the Department of Defense under a FOIA request raises a few questions, namely:

  • Why did the prisoners have their hands tied when they were found hanging in their cells (pp. 95, 192, 245)?
  • Could they have hanged themselves bound in this way?
  • Why was there a bloody T-shirt around the neck of one of the prisoners found hanging in his cell (p. 334)?
  • Why is there a page missing from the log that recorded the entries and exits to the cell block were the suicides took place on the day the suicides took place (p. 390)?
