Baghdad, Feb 23 - US forces has planned to to build the biggest prison in Iraqi Province of Naseriah.

Iraqi newspaper, al-Sharq al-Awsat qouted an Iraqi engineer working in the project as saying that the prison will be built near a US military camp in Naseriah Province.

"US forces will move prisoners of Basra, Naseriah, Amarah and Samawah to this prison. Six local contractors will build the prison" the newspaper added.

Iraqi people living in Basra and southern provinces destroyed prisons in those provinces after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime.

6. Hooray for the prison state!!
How about prison empire, where 5% builds and 95% suffer and live there.
Now a halliburton operation.
Now featuring free prostelyzation.
Convert to Conservative Christianity and get out of jail free!

I love it. It's just what Iraq needs. :evilgrin:

9. The Iraqi people are FREE!!. . .
Yeah, they're free to be put in a cage in Basra and Samawah. . .
and they're free to be put in a cage in Tikrit and Mandali. . .
and they're free to be put in a cage in East Sinjar (and on the westside). . .
and they're free to be put in a cage in Makhfar al Busayyah. . .
yeah, they're gatherin' 'em up, from miles around. . .
we're keepin' the Iraqi free.

18. Good for the Iraqis!
Maybe soon they'll be so free that they can rival the US for having the largest pecentage of her own citizens behind bars.

Freedom works in mysterious ways and putting everybody in jail must be one them.

24. Hey.... look at all the people in prison who aren't "unemployed" and
look at all the jobs created by the prison industry. Get caught with a joint... create a job. What a country.
