Military Puts Out New Bid on Afghan Prison It’s Supposed to Turn Over to Afghans

Nathan Hodge reports for Danger Room that the U.S. military has put out a solicitation for a contract worth up to $25 million to build “three new detention housing units” next to what used to be called the Bagram prison in Afghanistan. This comes as Presidents Obama and Karzai just pledged at a White House press briefing to put together a concrete schedule for transitioning what’s now called the Parwan detention complex to Afghan control before the end of the year. Judging by the pace of previous contracts, that new construction will probably begin, oh, sometime next year.
