It's 2x2. That's length and width; depth is not mentioned (it is mentioned when referring to the CIA box), and it says they are unable to sit down, not unable to stand. It also says their feet are attached to the ground in the current cage at issue, again implying that the prisoner is being forced to stand for a long period of time.

The article is confusing and poorly written, though; the CIA box is mentioned again, after the quote about the one at this immigration site. This later mention includes a reference to being unable to stand (but also refers to being "barely able to sit," thus distinguishing this as the CIA box and not the immigration one, in which we're told sitting is not possible).

Edit: we don't have any photos of this thing, and at no point is depth mentioned in the Amnesty International source report, but page 38 of the PDF linked below has an illustration of it. Note that the illustration does not depict a box with any dimensions matching 2 feet, so it's unclear how accurate this illustration actually is, nor does the artist's name appear in the report beyond copyright notes for the various images.
