Ex-prisoner, now 19, is back in U.S. custody
The younger prisoners at Guantanamo Bay Navy Base in Cuba are not "tortured". They are given classes in math, reading and writing in their native language, and are kept in separate a separate facility from the adults, with fewer restrictions. They were captured due to involvement in armed combat. Here is another article about it, from the same newspaper:

The Afghan, who was about 15 when he was swept up along with hundreds of others and taken to Guantánamo Bay, is among a small number of former prisoners who have been killed or recaptured following their release by U.S. authorities, said Paul Rester, director of the Joint Intelligence Group at the detention center.
The former detainee would now be about 19.
He was captured more than a year ago after a shootout with U.S. troops, according to Rester, who said in an interview that there are no plans to bring him back to Guantánamo Bay, where the military holds nearly 400 men on suspicion of links to al Qaeda or the Taliban.
The military, which released the juveniles in January 2004, kept them separated from adult detainees in a section of Guantánamo that had fewer restrictions. They were also given classes in math, reading and writing in their native language.
