This memorandum of understanding is between the Joint Interrogation and Detention Center (JIDC) and all external agencies who want to house detainees in cell block 1A and 1B at Abu Ghraib. The stated goal of the agreement is to eliminate the problems that have occurred since the introduction of detainees in block 1A/B, which were allegedly done so without approval of JIDC staff. The memo lays out guidelines to be followed by all parties that use the detention facility.
