(21 Feb 2009) HEADLINE: Abu Ghraib reopens with new name CAPTION: Iraq's infamous Abu Ghraib prison reopened, with a new name and official promises Saturday of humane treatment in a lockup notorious as a center for abuse. (Feb. 21) [Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] The infamous Abu Ghraib prison is open again, although this time with a new name and with promises of humane treatment. The prison was at the center of a scandal in 2004 when photos were released showing U-S forces sexually humiliating inmates and mistreating others. It was also the site where Saddam Hussein had prisoners tortured. It was closed in 2006, but now it's being re-opened with Iraqis in control of the facility. On Saturday they showed off the prison now called the Baghdad Central Prison. They say they needed to re-open it to help handle the approximately 15 thousand detainees the U-S military is ready to hand over to Iraqi control. Beyond a new name the facility now has a computer room, a recreation area as well as class rooms a gym and a sewing room. And officials promise the have made it a place not just for discipline but also for law and justice and rehabilitation.
