EXCLUSIVE: Videos from inside Charleston Brig prison cell of admitted terrorist Ali al-Marri

In videos obtained exclusively by News 2, you can see the isolation that Defense Intelligence Agency officials imposed on Ali al-Marri during more than five years at the Charleston Brig.

al-Marri admitted to attending terrorist training camps, and to meeting with 9/11 planners before the attacks. al-Marri also said he came to America on a mission days before the attacks.

In the series of videos, taken from what attorneys say are thousands of hours of tape, al-Marri is seen in his cell, being escorted through the brig, and getting medical care. His cell consisted of a metal rack for a bed, a toilet and sink. There are some videos in which there is a blanket, and some with a blanket and pillow.

al-Marri’s attorney, Andy Savage showed News 2 the log which directed brig guards to keep al-Marri isolated, not to answer questions, to take away his glasses and Quran.

The videos also show the treatment of al-Marri by brig staff, which Savage praised. He said brig guards treated al-Marri with dignity.

Earlier this week a judge sentenced Ali al-Marri to eight years in prison. The judge said he took al-Marri’s isolation, and what he saw on these tapes into account when deciding to not impose the maximum sentence.
