    This report documents over 100 detainee deaths in U.S. custody since 2002. Of these, 34 are confirmed or suspected homicides and 11 others suggest death due to abuse or harsh detention conditions. The cause of nearly half of the deaths remains unknown or unannounced. Eight detainees were tortured to death. Despite this, only 12 deaths have resulted in any punishment for U.S. officials, with the harshest sentence being five months in jail. Investigations have been inadequate and failed to hold commanders accountable. Two key failures have emerged: limited accountability due to investigative failures, and commanders undermining accountability by not providing clear guidance or taking allegations seriously.
