The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has released new summary statistics on the recidivism of former Guantanamo detainees. 167 ex-Gitmo detainees are now either “confirmed” or “suspected” of reengaging in “terrorist or insurgent activities” after their release, according to the ODNI’s latest estimate.
95 of the 167 former detainees included in the estimate are “confirmed” recidivists, and the remaining 72 are “suspected.” 599 detainees have been either transferred or released from Guantanamo, meaning that the estimated recidivism rate now stands at 27.9 percent – or a little more than 1 out of every 4 ex-detainees.
