Prevents plea agreements or judgments from ending the criminal trials of three named Guantanamo detainees for the September 11, 2001 attacks, confirms the death penalty is available if they are convicted, and requires that any death sentence be carried out only after holding the prisoners in solitary confinement at the U.S. Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay with tightly restricted contact and treatment and no transfer elsewhere. The section states these rules apply notwithstanding other laws.

The provision directly dictates trial continuation, sentencing options, and post‑sentence detention conditions for the three named defendants, and creates binding limits on where and how they may be held if sentenced to death.
