All detainees areprovided prayer beads, cap, rug, and current prayer schedule. These items are retained by all detainees regardless ofdisciplinary status, unless deliberately used for self-harm or as a weapon. … Guards observe silence during allprayer times. A monthly prayer schedule is published and call to prayer is sounded five times daily in all camps.Prayer is led within each camp and block by a detainee-selected prayer leader. In Camps 2, 3, 5, 6, and Echo groupprayer is typically conducted by detainees from their individual cells. When this occurs, the food tray access doorsof the prayer leaders are lowered to facilitate call to prayer on each block/tier. At times when detainees are engagedin group or communal activities and prayer call sounds, prayer is led by prayer leaders in person. In Camps 4 andIguana, group prayer is conducted in communal areas of the camps. At Camp 7, prayer is conducted individually intheir cells. Guard movement and activity is limited to only those actions required to maintain security. Visualsignals are placed on each block/tier signifying quiet time. Each detainee cell and common area includes an arrowpointing towards Mecca.”).86 For example, DOD DIRECTIVE 2310.01E, DoD Detainee Program, 3b(1) (Aug. 19, 2014) (“Humane treatmentincludes: … (b) Reasonable access to the open air, reasonable educational and intellectual activities, … .”);Chairman’s Commentary to the Copenhagen Process: Principles and Guidelines, 9.3 (“Health and hygiene factorsthat need to be addressed include … ensuring that detainees are permitted to engage in exercise regimes, includingin the open air, … .”). Compare § 9.16 (Intellectual, Physical, and Recreational Activities); § 10.16 (Intellectual,Physical, and Recreational Activities).87 For example, Admiral Patrick Walsh et al., Department of Defense, Review of Department Compliance withPresident’s Executive Order on Detainee Conditions of Confinement, 11 (2009) (“Camp 4 [at Guantanamo], firstoccupied in February 2003, offers communal living, numerous recreation facilities, education and intellectualstimulation programs, and houses detainees considered the most compliant with camp rules. Unlike other camps,Camp 4 offers communal living in open-bay barracks with open access to fresh air in outdoor recreation andcommunal facilities throughout the day. It includes additional access to large recreation areas equipped with abasketball court, volleyball court, and soccer facility, during a specified four-hour period each day. Camp 4 has amedia center equipped with satellite television, bench seating, and a classroom used to teach literacy and art.”).88 For example, Charles A.
