U.S. turns Taji detention facility over to Iraqi government

[Mr. Perfect]

TAJI, Iraq (March 15, 2010) — A new concept in Iraq's corrections system officially became a reality with the turn-over of the Theater Internment Facility Reconciliation Facility Center (TIFRC) in Taji March 15. The TIFRC is essentially a detainment center with a goal to provide inmates with an environment where they can learn new skills and educate themselves to help their families and be productive citizens when they are released.

It just sickens me the amount of money we have poured into Iraq. Is it any wonder now why the US economy is the way it is. They should have poured this money into creating new jobs here for more than 20,000 US citizens NOT Iraqis.



The total contract value for the project was $70 million. The contractor for the project was ALMCO Company.



Since 2004, USACE has completed 5,257 projects throughout Iraq valued at more than $9.1 billion, and has more than 250 projects ongoing. The overall reconstruction effort in Iraq currently provides jobs for more than 20,000 Iraqis.
