Former marine Trevor Reed recounted his horrendous experiences in a Russian detainment center in an interview with CNN after his release in late April as part of a prisoner exchange that took place amid strained bilateral relations between the United States and Russia.

Reed, 30, from Texas, was held in a psychiatric treatment facility where he feared for his life, surrounded by filth and mentally challenged prisoners, he said in the Friday interview with CNN.
