Look at the pic closely. He's supposed to be a prisoner. Why is there a lock on the inside of where he is? Am I wrong or does it look like he could just let himself out of the room?

"Why is there a lock on the inside of where he is? "

Good question. Wanna bet this turns out to be a fake? Perhaps a photoshopped picture?

The doors/frame are plywood and the hinges are on his side, as is the sliding lock. I'm going to speculate that if the photo is genuine at all, what you see behind him is a jury-rigged wardrobe/closet. A nation's deposed leader in US custody, even one who's a tyrant, would be granted certain privileges. MHO
