Army Gen. David Petraeus, International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces-Afghanistan commander, and Afghan National Army Brig. Gen. Safiullah Safi, commanding general of the Parwan and Pol-e-Charki military police brigade, discuss the role of Afghan soldiers at the detention facility in Parwan, Afghanistan, Sept. 27, 2010. The design of the detention facility allows for safe, humane and effective management of the detainee population, and allows willing detainees to participate in group activities, educational and training programs. Once transferred to Afghan control, the detention facility will be part of a larger Justice Center in Parwan, which will become Afghanistan’s central location for the pre-trial detention, prosecution and post-trial incarceration of national security suspects.
