Interviews with Detainees in a review board method are held, and the individual detainees have the chance to talk about their case with the review board. As a condition of their release, the individuals have to swear to behave and have good conduct in the future.
They are required to swear an oath before an Iraqi judge, and this is recorded, along with their identity and information. This helped encourage detainees to go straight, but it also serves to have on record information about people previously having fought or acted out against the Iraqi government or against the coalition. If they are arrested in the future, then they can be identified more readily.
