The Guantanamo camps were organized to separate the captives based on how compliant the captives were perceived to be.

Camp X-ray, the original camp, retired in 2003, housed prisoners in open-air wire-mesh cages, with no toilet facilities.

Camp 4 was the camp for the most compliant captives, where captives lived in communal barracks rather than individual cells, and were allowed access to a communal exercise yard for most of the day.

Camp Six, constructed by Halliburton, was modeled on US Federal medium-security penitentiaries.cite news
