Until the raid on Saturday, April 13, 2013, on Guantanamo's communal prison compound, commanders said, U.S. troops were blind to what was going on inside individual cells because the captives had covered up 147 of the 160 cellblock cameras. Tuesday, the 65 or so captives were under lockdown in individual cells, and guards had surveillance on each one, as illustrated here where cell B105 shows a prisoner standing in prayer -- and B101 shows the black helmets and other riot gear U.S. forces used on the blocks.
