Graner Gets 10 Years for Prisoner Abuse
2005-01-16
Army Spc. Charles Graner Jr., convicted of physically and sexually mistreating Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison, was sentenced Saturday to 10 years behind bars in the first trial arising from the scandal fueled by graphic photographs.
Sounds good to me. I hope there's no time off for good behavior...
Graner, labeled the leader of a band of rogue guards at the Baghdad prison in late 2003, also was demoted to private and ordered to forfeit all pay and benefits. When his prison sentence is completed, he will be dishonorably discharged. The jury of four Army officers and six senior enlisted men deliberated about two hours to determine Graner's sentence. He could have received 15 years.
He's certainly no great loss to the Army. He seems to have spent what time he wasn't abusing prisoners sharing bodily fluids with the girlies.

#4  yep, .com. The USDB at Ft. Leavenworth is better than the usual prison for protecting inmate, far more than E1 Graner did for his charges. He'll be segregate for an initial period of interview, classification, and training [he's going to get to know what he's going to do for the next 10 years]. The personnel at the USDB do not, repeat do not, want anymore attention for their operation than Graner got for his. He's not going to be someone's bitch. Sorry to disappoint you. The question is after the entry process whether he'll be placed in the general population or isolated for his own protection. Strangely enough there is a degree of honor among theives, so to speak. Somewhere later in the sentence, he may qualify for work release, which permits work outside the walls depending upon the inmate's reliability. One of the great aspects for good enlisted personnel at Ft Leavenworth is the old s**t details are performed by inmates.
And Rafael, the Army does not[or did not] have a regulatory process for removing ribbons earned from prior assignment unless it is later discovered that a violation of the UCMJ occured during that assignment. However, yes CA, there is no place on the jumpsuits for those.

#3  Don't think the ribbons will appear on his brig jumpsuit. Perhaps some soiled panties as headgear will do.

#2  That's quite a few ribbons pinned on his chest though...

#1  Is anyone else wondering what sort of treatment he will receive from his warders? With just a little imagination, I can conjure up all sorts of images. Lol... Indeed, there may be more pictures to come, heh. I'll bet he won't be grinning and joking in those. This asshole did a monumental and irreparable disservice to the approx 500,000 honorable and good myn and wymyn wearing the uniform. He does not represent them, nor is he worthy to be among them.
