Parallel to CIA detentions at black sites, the United States also opened a prison at Guantánamo Bay, a US military controlled detention center in Cuba. Photos of hundreds of cowered men in orange jumpsuits became an iconic image of the war on terror. While not entirely clandestine, unlike the secret CIA prisons, the US claimed that normal legal protections did not apply to the offshore detention camp. In the words of one English judge, they were seeking to create a “legal black hole” that has still not been filled.
