	Military prison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Military prisons are used variously to house prisoners of war, enemy combatants, those whose freedom is deemed a national security risk by military or civilian authorities, and members of the military found guilty of a serious crime.
		Thus military prisons are of two types: penal, for punishing and attempting to reform criminals within the military, and confinement-oriented, where captured enemies are confined for military reasons until hostilities cease.
		The American military equivalent to the civilian jail, in the sense of "holding area" or "place of brief incarceration for petty crimes" is known colloquially as the guardhouse or stockade by the army and air forces, and the brig by naval forces.

	As Insurgency Grew, So Did Prison Abuse
		Interviews with U.S. officials, former prisoners and Iraqis who have supported the occupation, along with findings outlined in the Army's internal investigation of prison abuses, make clear that there was a connection between changes in conditions inside the prisons and the struggle to control an increasingly hostile country.
		Last fall, U.S. military leaders cast about for ways to generate more information on the insurgency after focusing their early intelligence efforts on the hunt for Saddam Hussein, his top lieutenants and the weapons of mass destruction that were the Bush administration's rationale for going to war.
		The harsh treatment of prisoners was seen by some of the perpetrators as consistent with Miller's recommendation for "setting conditions" for interrogations by military intelligence officers.

	Torture Bill States Non-Allegiance To Bush Is Terrorism
		The New York Times stated that the legislation introduced, "A dangerously broad definition of “illegal enemy combatant” in the bill could subject legal residents of the United States, as well as foreign citizens living in their own countries, to summary arrest and indefinite detention with no hope of appeal.
		Similar to the UK's Glorification of Terrorism law, which top lawyers have slammed as vague, open to interpretation and a potential weapon for the government to kidnap supposed subversives, the nebulous context of "wrongfully aiding the enemy," could easily be defined to include publicly absolving an accused terrorist of involvement in a terrorist attack.
		The bill also allows hearsay evidence (obtained via phony confessions after torture) to be considered by the military tribunal and bars the suspect from even having knowledge of the charges against him - making a case for defense impossible.

		The complex arrangement was part of the CIA's sprawling practice of extraordinary renditions, the secret transfer of terror suspects to hidden prisons across the world — which has involved the aid of numerous foreign governments and the knowledge of key Western European allies, according to the book, which was shown to TIME by the author.
		"Under a separate provision, those held by the CIA or the U.S. military as an unlawful enemy combatant would be barred from challenging their detention or the conditions of their treatment in U.S. courts unless they were first tried, convicted and appealed their conviction."...

	Gratiot Street Prison
		In April of 1863 quarters for female prisoners were constructed in the “round room” though they were used only until a separate “female prison” was established in a building on the other side of Gratiot Street.
		The upper level of the north wing was the prison hospital, with the attic serving as the dead room.
		The prison had a dungeon described by Frost as “the darkest pit of the prison.,” and “a damp unhealthy hole, with a strong offensive smell.” Though used for punishments, the dungeon was not considered secure enough for long-term confinement.

		Second question: The prisoner in question is the adopted daughter of a deceased Army Major, though she happens to be a member of a very hated and feared race.
		The prisoners decide to have some "fun" by luring her into a room and taunting her, ripping clothes, etc. Think of the scene in West Side Story in which Anita is assaulted at the parlor by the Americans.
		In my experience, the only time we've handed over a military guy to the military without going through the civilian court system was when the charge was AWOL which has jurisdictional boundaries with the military always.

		But last week's verdict condemning five young people to spend a whole year behind these grey prison walls there gave today's protest a feeling of special urgency, and quite a few people had come who were not seen at the mountain before.
		Among the crowd were parents and grandparents and siblings and some girlfriends of the prisoners.

	Senator chides military for prison abuse findings
		WASHINGTON -- A military review concluding that blame for wartime prisoner abuse lay mostly with low- and mid-level soldiers has failed to quiet critics who say Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other senior leaders should be held to account.
		He also said there was no evidence to indicate Rumsfeld or any other senior civilian or military authority directed, approved or encouraged a policy of prisoner abuse.
		The transfers would be similar to the renditions, or transfers of captives to other countries, carried out by the CIA, but they are subject to stricter approval within the government, and face potential opposition from the CIA as well as the State and Justice departments.
