Since its establishment on January 11, 2002, the Guantanamo Bay detention camps located in Cuba have detained a cumulative total of 779 individuals. The detainee count reached its highest point, approximately 660, in 2004. After the United States Supreme Court decision in Rasul v. Bush, only nineteen additional "high value detainees" were brought in. By July 2012, the detainee population had decreased to roughly 168.
