That woman had then a one-year-old son who Ray adopts as his own.
He and the son become very, very close.
And they have a life together as a family until October of 2025 when at one of these routine check-ins that he'd been doing for decades at this point, he gets detained and from there gets sent to Camp East Montana.
And that's really where the nightmare begins for him.
Yeah, he has a really interesting perspective on all of this, both because of the experience he had at Guantanamo and because of the experience he had in federal prison.
And so he is used to a general sense of order.
I mean, this is a guy who's a survivor.
This is a guy who's tough, who's been through a lot.
He's not expecting to be kind of treated in a –
you know, an overly sensitive way, but he's expecting there to be a certain baseline sense of order and regulation to the experience in detention.
And that from the very start is clearly not the case at Camp East Montana.
And so it immediately sets off kind of an alarm in his head that there is something off here.
So for instance, you know, he arrives there and
He spends his first night with 20 other guys sleeping essentially on the floor of what is a kind of de facto holding cell before they're then transferred to these individual tents.
Each tent has maybe a dozen or so units in it.
And, you know, the first thing he says to the guards when he's taken into custody is, listen, I've got I've got a medical condition.
I've got diabetes.
I've got high blood pressure.
I was recently hospitalized a couple of months before in New Mexico.
I had sepsis.
