Does anyone know of a website I can go to that I am able to make contact? Would prefer the Philippines if someone can reccommend a site?

Thanks =)

In the Philippines convicts do not have access to the internet!

On top of that the USA is losing the war, all we did was make sure the people in those countries despise us.

The scandal happened because pictures leaked out.

How do you feel about the report that the Cebu dancing inmates are no longer allowed to perform? Do you believe they should still be allowed to dance? Are you proud of their international success?

Oh, how sad. I believe they should still be allowed to perform not only next year, but for the next more, more years! Yes, I am proud of the inmates’ international success.

He said that our family doesn’t talk about it and he won’t give me the guys last name, only his first name John and his last initial, A. He also went to Illinois State Prison. So I’ve been on their website and they have HUNDREDS of John A’s when I typed the name into the inmate search thing. I just want to know if they would keep John’s file in it after he died, so I’m not looking for something that doesn’t even exist or isn’t open to the general public. Thanks in advance!

He would not be listed as a "current inmate" if he is deceased but the booking records are public record (and should never be sealed) - you should be able to go to the clerk’s office and go through old inmate records to find him.

It seems like if he murdered several people you may be able to find the story in a newspaper or something, although at least knowing the approximate date of the murder would make this way easier.

Good luck!

The photos were never released to the public, the dumb a** Army guards who took them put a few of them on the internet to show their friends, that is how all this got started. If you call being naked and having underwear on your head is torture, it was more humiliation. But more humiliating was getting urine, dung and come thrown at you on a daily basis at Gitmo (Land of 3 hots, a cot and warm ocean breezes for human cr** )

Nine Army reservists have been convicted of abusing detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. All of them were enlisted:

— Pfc. Lynndie England, a 22-year-old reservist from Fort Ashby, W. Va., was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison after being convicted on six of seven counts related to detainee abuse. England was found guilty of one count of conspiracy, four counts of maltreating detainees and one count of committing an indecent act. She was acquitted on one conspiracy count.

— Former Cpl. Charles Graner Jr., of Uniontown, Pa., was found guilty in January. He is serving a 10-year prison term at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Prosecutors described Graner, who England has said is the father of her infant son, as the ringleader of a group of Abu Ghraib guards who mistreated Iraqis.

— Former Spc. Megan Ambuhl, of Centreville, Va., a former Abu Ghraib guard now married to Graner, pleaded guilty in November 2004 to failing to prevent or report maltreatment of prisoners. She was discharged from the Army without prison time.

— Former Spc. Sabrina Harman, of Lorton, Va., was found guilty at trial in May of conspiracy, maltreating detainees and dereliction of duty. She was sentenced six months in prison after testimony about her acts of kindness toward Iraqis before she became an Abu Ghraib guard.

— Former Staff Sgt. Ivan Frederick of Buckingham, Va., was sentenced to 81/2 years last October after pleading guilty to conspiracy, dereliction of duty, maltreatment of detainees and other charges. Frederick said he helped place wires on a detainee’s hands and told him he would be electrocuted if he fell while standing on a box.

— Former Spc. Jeremy Sivits of Hyndman, Pa., pleaded guilty in May 2004 to four counts for taking pictures of naked Iraqi prisoners being humiliated, including some of the photographs that triggered the Abu Ghraib scandal. He was sentenced to one year in prison.

— Former Spc. Roman Krol, of Randolph, Mass., admitted pouring water on naked detainees and forcing them to crawl around the floor. He also said he threw a foam football at them while they were handcuffed. Krol, who served in a military intelligence unit, was sentenced in February to 10 months in prison.

— Former Spc. Armin Cruz, of Plano, Texas, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and mistreating prisoners and was sentenced in September 2004 to eight months in prison. Cruz was part of the same military intelligence unit as Krol.

— Former Sgt. Javal Davis, Roselle, N.J., was sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty in February to assault, dereliction of duty and lying to Army investigators. The former sergeant admitted stepping on the

If the inmate can prove that the facility provided less that the ordinary effort to ensure safety, they could try to sue for negligence. It’s not impossible to win, just highly unlikely. That sort of violence is just part of the environment. Short of having everyone in solitary confinement 24/7, it can’t be completely elimanated.
