Guantanamo detainees

As of January 19, 2017, 41 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay, according to the U.S. government.

This list of Guantánamo prisoners has the known identities of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp in Cuba, but is compiled from various sources and is incomplete. In official documents, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) continues to make intermittent efforts to redact prisoner's names, and has not published an official list of detainees (As of September 2005^[update]). On April 19, 2006, the DoD released a list with 558 names in what appears to be a fax or other scanned image.Associated Press published the list in more accessible text form.

The Washington Post maintains a list of the prisoners known or suspected to have been held in Guantánamo Bay.

The United States has long maintained camps at Guantánamo Bay for attempted illegal immigrants captured while trying to get to the United States, usually from Cuba, Haiti, or the Dominican Republic. This statement seems incorrect since none of the detainees countries are listed as Cuba, Haiti, or the Dominican Republic.

On March 3, 2006 the DoD partially complied with a court order to release the names of the remaining Guantánamo detainees. The court order required the DoD to release the names of all the detainees. Initially, the DoD released only 317 names. On April 19, 2006, the DoD released a list with 558 names.

Although justice Jed Rakoff had already dismissed this argument, Pentagon spokesmen Bryan Whitman justified withholding the names out of a concern for the detainees' privacy.

On April 20, 2006 the DoD released a portable document format file that listed 558 names. The 558 individuals on the list were those whose detention had been reviewed by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal (CSRT). The list gave the detainee's ID number, their name, and their home country.
