Gitmo detainee faces psychological struggle after release

Australian David Hicks, who was held and interrogated in Guantanamo Bay detention for almost six years, will be allowed to return home on Saturday.

Psychology Prof. James Ogloff spoke to ABC about the difficulty Hicks of trying to reintegrate into society. Ogloff said, "In some very restrictive regimes, and Guantanamo Bay will fall into that category, the environments are actually designed to break people down, there's no long term goal of rehabilitating people or having them return to the community. So the issues that the individual faces is, in fact, being broken into pieces and having to really be put back together."
