Thus the comment about "16 hours" and "Prisoner". They'd been asking him as many questions as they could think up. They'd been discussing what to do with him. But they'd never wondered what the guy's name was.

It is fairly typical PC behavior though. Actually, I suspect most prisoners want to volenteer their name. People generally don't like being called by descriptions. Though the "Name" Volenteered may just be a first name, nick name, or false name.
