Prison Presentation
by Graham Davies

Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison has a truly horrible history. It was originally a torture centre for Saddam. But it only became notorious internationally because of graphic pictures of inmate abuse by American soldiers when the US used it as a venue for imprisonment without trial.

Now it has re-opened after a complete renovation. There is a gym, a computer room and a visitor centre with a play area to occupy the children of those visiting detainees.

It even has a snappy new name: "Baghdad Central Prison".

It warms my heart to see the Iraqi Justice Ministry acknowledging the importance of Image and Presentation...even for a captive audience.
