Sworn statement of a government civilian employee (GS-12) regarding detention practices. Mentions detainees "who were complaining" and who "had obvious injuries to their faces, their wrists, and water blisters on their legs."

Continues, "There was a female detainee that was brought in, I didn't talk to her ... whatever happened to her I have no idea what it was.... [Redacted] said she was humiliated by this guy." Mentions that "one individual had rotator cuff damage so severe he couldn't lift his arms up. He alleged he was handcuffed behind his back, and they were lifted almost to his head.... On one particular individual, his wrist wounds were so severe that they were cut down through the forth [sic] and fifth layers of flesh.... I've been told about the impaling of the rectum with a bottle."
