Abu Ghraib Art Contest

Looks like the Army is trying to take a different approach to detainee treatment at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison. From the Army News Service:

Concrete bunkers, strategically placed within the confines of Abu Ghraib prison for detainee protection, turned into works of art when juvenile detainees were offered the challenge to paint them in the form of a contest.

The detainees were given paint and supplies provided by the 306th Military Police Battalion’s Repair and Utilities section to decorate the bunkers, and a few theme ideas, such as “a united Iraq” to get them started.

Capt. Jim Allen, compound commander, added: “The juveniles become bored very easily. We are always trying to think of new activities for them.” As long as they're not the "activities" Abu Ghraib became infamous for.
