Edit: Major TW some images on this article are horrible

During the early stages of the Iraq War, members of the United States Army and the Central Intelligence Agency committed a series of human rights violations and war crimes against detainees in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. These abuses included physical abuse, sexual humiliation, physical and psychological torture, and rape, as well as the killing of Manadel al-Jamadi and the desecration of his body.[4][5][6][7] The abuses came to public attention with the publication of photographs by CBS News in April 2004, causing shock and outrage and receiving widespread condemnation within the United States and internationally.[8]

Just a gut feeling but I don't think this was the only torture camp. The best way to get someone to talk is probably to torture his family in front of him. There was probably similar locations where actual children and women went in and no one came out.
