Regardless of guilt or innocence, allowing a prisoner in your custody to die through neglect or abuse is blind too; it doesn't have to be a sanctioned policy or accidental either for it to be wrong on all counts.

That is what robbo180265 means, I believe.

Does a duty of care ring any bells here, or doesn't that apply in places like guantanamo bay? iirc the lawyers had a field day, prompted by various administrations, trying to remove all legal rights of these prisoners, military, international or civilian in nature.
