The "Hard Site" and the Failure of "Intelligence" at Abu Ghraib

The “hard site” was an area of the prison where intel was gathered, and a psychiatric area. There was also another area of the “hard site” where women and children were kept, as well as “high security” prisoners. Intelligence officers were attempting to gather intel from prisoners, but they were unable. It was in these hard sites where the prisoner MP ratio was 6:1,000.They used several interrogation techniques, for example, threatening detainees that their families were in the prison to give information. Most of these detainees, roughly seventy-five percent yielded no useful intel.
