Seriously, these are non-state actors who were detained for some reason or another. From a political point of view there's no real downside to keeping these people there forever, and there are no real upsides to releasing them.
The various ISIS brides are in the same boat: nobody wants them back and nobody wants to re-integrate them. They've shown red by abandoning their society for the caliphate of barbarians, so that point why not just leave them to rot? Because we're nicer?

You are advocating a slippery slope to medieval justice: If you float, you're a witch; if you drown you were guilty of some other crime. Only divine intervention was evidence of "true" innocence.
