US sets up new Iraqi prison system.
We can teach the Iraqis about more humane treatment like the "we care chair".
Yeah, we will be a "civilizing" influence, I'm sure. *double snort*
One U.S. prison expert questioned whether the U.S. prison system offered the best model for Iraq to follow.
"I would have liked them to take a look at the practices of some of the European countries where they have an independent prison inspectorate, or Canada. The U.S. model is not exactly the best," said Jenni Gainsborough of Penal Reform International, which promotes cooperation between governments and non-governmental organizations to promote good prisons.
The U.S. prison and jail system, with around 2.2 million inmates, accounts for a quarter of all the world's prisoners. Reports of violence, rape, abuse and medical neglect regularly emerge from the system.

Yeah, we will be a "civilizing" influence, I'm sure. *double snort*
