U.S. Opens New Prison To Hold Mostly Arab Muslims
The Washington Post is reporting the Justice Department has quietly
opened a new prison unit in Terre Haute, Indiana designed to hold
mostly Arab Muslim prisoners. The jail operates under special rules
restricting the ability of prisoners to communicate with the outside
world. All telephone calls and mail are monitored, the number of phone
calls are limited and visits are restricted to a total of four hours
per month. All prison conversations must be conducted in English
unless otherwise negotiated. The Iraqi-born doctor Rafil Dhafir from
upstate New York is among the prisoners being held. He is serving a
22-year sentence for violating the Iraqi sanctions by sending aid to
Iraq through his charity Help the Needy. Five members of the so-called
"Lackawanna Six" are also being held in the Indiana prison. Only two
non-Muslims are being held at the jail.
