DOS Cable re: Prison Survey Detainee and Prison Conditions in Afghanistan

Apr. 1, 2003 | DOS | ACLU-RDI 3620
This DOS Cable discusses a visit to a detention facility in Afghanistan. It explains that there was a previous issue at the facility of overcrowding and lack of resources, but that the current climate is better. Also, the cable notes that the facility houses seventy-five known Taliban commanders and thirty-five inmates convicted of civil crimes (e.g. murder, robbery, and gambling).
