Details of secret CIA prisons released

The detention centers he built for “high value” terrorist detainees were in three different countries. They were virtually identical in order to disorientate senior Al -Qaeda members and get them to talk.

The prisons were designed to facilitate harsh interrogation and torture and sometimes held as few as four detainees.

One prison was in a renovated building on a busy street in Bucharest, Romania. Another was in Morocco. A third was on the outskirts of another former Eastern bloc city.

The prisoners were moved back and forth and they were kept in isolated cells, often in freezing conditions, he said.

There were non slip floors and wooden walls which detainees were slammed against. They also used the water boarding torture technique.

The Agency eventually had access to eight detention centers, including one in the Middle-East, Iraq and Afghanistan as well as Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
