A photo emerged from his captivity of him being held naked and bound, wearing a blindfold.<ref>[http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/04/12/ret.walker.lindh.photos/index.html U.S. troops took photos of blindfolded Walker Lindh April 12, 2002]</ref> When details of the conditions of his captivity began to emerge, it was discovered that he had initially been wounded and hidden for a week with limited food, water, and minimal sleep before being captured. After being captured and taken to a room with a single, sealed-off window, Lindh reportedly had his clothes cut off him and was duct-taped to a stretcher and placed in a metal shipping container for transportation. Lindh was reportedly not allowed release from the stretcher when he needed to urinate. While being interrogated, Lindh allegedly was repeatedly denied access to a lawyer and was threatened with denial of medical aid if he did not cooperate. Lindh was held for over a week in U.S. custody before his wound was treated and the bullet removed.<ref>[http://www.lindhdefense.info/20020613_FactsSuppSuppress.pdf Walker's Transcript of the his time in US custody]</reF>

Lindh's attorney, James Brosnahan, said Lindh would be eligible for release in 17 years, with good behavior. This is because, although there is no [[parole]] under federal law, his sentence could be reduced by 15 percent, or three years, for good behavior. In addition, Lindh agreed to cooperate "fully, truthfully and completely" with both [[military intelligence]] and [[law enforcement agency|law enforcement agencies]] in the terrorism investigation.<ref name="Guilty"/>
