Iraqi detainees refusing to go home: US general - Yahoo! News

An increasing number of Iraqi detainees are refusing to leave detention centres despite being eligible for release because they want to complete studies begun behind bars, a US general said on Sunday.


"In the last three or four months we have begun seeing detainees asking to stay in detention, usually to complete their studies," Major General Douglas Stone told a news conference in Baghdad.


The US military offers a wide range of educational programmes to the 23,000 or so detainees -- adults and juveniles -- being held at its two detention facilities, Camp Cropper near Baghdad's international airport and Camp Bucca near the southern port city of Basra.


Some parents of juvenile detainees, too, have asked that their children remain behind bars so they can continue their schooling, said Stone, the commanding general for US detainee operations in Iraq.


The US military, he added, was not encouraging the trend.


"We don't want them to remain in detention," he said. "When they are no longer considered a threat we want them to go home."


Teachers at the House of Wisdom school at Camp Cropper told AFP recently that parents of juvenile detainees had asked that siblings be locked up with their brothers so they too could benefit from the educational programmes offered at the camp.

Sadly, it looks like we are training the detainees better than we did the troops we stuck in that -hole at Abu Graihb..... from the best of intentions comes the greatest of clusterfucks..........

Gix, this illustrates just how dangerous with lack of opportunities Iraq is for young Iraqi males. Clearly, this is very good reflection on the American military and will help heal the wounds of Abu Ghraib and other atrocities.

"had asked that siblings be locked up with their brothers"

uhhhhhh. So you want to claim some potlical victory cause you are paying for more prisoners to stay longer past there sentences..... ON tax money. Yep its those fiscaly minded republcians hard at work.

Here is a general link. It seems as though these camps have both good and bad publicity. Hopefully lessons were learned after Abu Ghraib.There have been problems with abuse although, I would think they would be under a microscope at this point.

Camp Cropper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think its logical to assume this has as much to do with safety as education. Parents thinking the kids are at least not going to die there.

Regardless, it shows one more thing the Iraqis cant achive on their own.
