The Parwan Detention Facility (PDF), also called the Bagram Theater Internment Facility, is an Afghanistan-run prison located next to Bagram Airfield in the Parwan Province of Afghanistan. It was formerly known as the Bagram Collection Point. While initially intended as a temporary location, this facility now has lasted longer and accumulated more detainees than the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.〔("Bagram detention center now twice the size of Guantanamo" )〕 As of early June 2011 the Obama administration held 1700 prisoners at the military base while there were previously about 600 prisoner under the Bush administration. None of the prisoners received POW status.〔http://www.salon.com/news/afghanistan/?story=/politics/war_room/2011/06/04/bagram_obama_gitmo〕 The treatment of inmates at the facility is under scrutiny since two Afghan detainees died in the 2002 Bagram torture and prisoner abuse case. These incidents led to prisoner abuse charges against several American troops. Concerns about lengthy detentions also have drawn comparisons with U.S. detention centers in Guantanamo Bay on Cuba and Abu Graib in Iraq. Part of the internment facility is called the Black jail.〔〔 〕 ==Physical site== During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan the Red Army built Bagram Airfield.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title=Afghanistan — Bagram Airbase )〕〔 〕〔 〕 The airfield included large hangars that fell into disrepair after the Soviets left. When the US military and their allies ousted the Taliban, US forces took possession of the former Soviet base. The US military didn't need the volume of hangar space, so a detention facility was built inside the large unused hangars. Like the first facilities built at Guantanamo's Camp X-Ray, the cells were built of wire mesh. However, only captives held in solitary confinement have a cell of their own.〔 The other captives share larger open cells with other captives. According to some accounts, captives were provided with shared buckets to use as toilets, and did not have access to running water.〔 〕 Although captives share their cells with dozens of other captives, there are also reports that they are not allowed to speak with one another, or even to look at one another.〔 〕 During an interview on PBS, Chris Hogan, a former interrogator at Bagram, described the prisoner's cells in early 2002. According to an article by Tim Golden, published in the January 7, 2008 issue of the ''New York Times'', captives in the Bagram facility were still being housed in large communal pens.〔 〕 Permanent replacement facilities for the original temporary facilities constructed in 2001 were completed in September 2009.〔 〕 According to ''The Nation'' transfer of the 700 captives to the new facilities will begin in late November 2009 completed by the end of 2009. Brigadier General Mark Martins, Bagram's commandant, told reporters that the facility had always met international and domestic standards. Although the new facility is near the previous facility, it DoD sources sometimes refer to it as the Parwan facility, as if it had no link to the original Bagram facility.〔 (mirror ) 〕 On December 11,2014 it was finally handed over to the Afghan government from the US Armed Forces. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parwan Detention Facility」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
