Abu Ghraib prison

The Baghdad Central Prison (Arabic: سجن بغداد المركزي‎‎ Sijn Baġdād al-Markizī), formerly known as Abu Ghraib prison (Arabic: سجن أبو غريب‎‎ Sijn Abū Ghurayb; also Abu Ghuraib, lit. 'Father of Raven', or 'Place of Ravens') was a prison complex in Abu Ghraib, an Iraqi city 32 km (20 mi) west of Baghdad.
