Hard-Site Lock Down for Women and Children

High security sections at Abu Ghraib contained the women and children. They were in a section called Tier 1B. Detainees who were considered terrorists were also in hard sites, as well as, those labeled as insane. These men were kept in Tier 1A.

Why Abu Ghraib only had 300 MP’s to guard over 6,000 prisoners is a question that begs answering. If the CIA and the White House wanted to extract intel from the detainees, why did it appear as if this particular prison was not a priority? Why were back-ups and extra security forces not sent?

If up to 80% of the detainees appeared to have no ties with any terrorist organization; why were they kept at the prison and why did the US government continue down this absurd path? The questions begin to accumulate as 2003 progresses in Iraq.
