What was Detention Site Blue and how did the CIA establish it?
Detention Site Blue was the CIA's second secret terrorist prison, established in rural Poland. The CIA paid the Polish intelligence agency $15 million in cash, delivered in cardboard boxes, for the use of a military facility in the woods. After flying detainees to a small airport, the CIA would drive prisoners 20 minutes to this location. Here, they continued their interrogation work, using violent torture methods while deliberately scrambling flight paths and faking records to conceal their operations. After about a year, growing scrutiny forced them to relocate prisoners again, continuing their pattern of establishing black sites in different countries.
