Easy answer: it's going to depend on the individual. There are currently 30 people being held in the Guantanamo Bay black site, all but one of whom are currently either indefinitely awaiting sentencing or are in indefinite detention but have not yet even been charged with a crime. They were all detained between 2002 and 2008.
You're 100% correct. We assess the crimes they've been accused of (if any) and pass judgment based on the facts. Most of them will go free. After being in a secret prison for two decades, they are going to need comprehensive financial, social, and medical support—as decent people we'd be obligated to provide it. It's less of an ethical dilemma, and more a test of basic ethics.
i'm not familiar with Cuban law but i have a hard time believing they could accommodate tortured & irregularly detained individuals without that ruining the case, which is also the case with US law they just endlessly loophole/delay it to save face
