Wolfowitz toured Abu Ghraib prison "death house"
Below, from page 6, March 4 edition of the Utah Sheriff's Association newsletter, The Utah Sheriff (3.2 mb file on slow site).
From the Executive Director
Internationally
. . . . As by now readers of the newsletter are aware, the Utah Sheriffs' Association's Executive Director [Gary DeLand] spent the summer working helping build a jail, prison, and corrections training system in Iraq. With me was Lane McCotter. Though Lane is not a Sheriff and has never worked for County law enforcement, he does have a connection with the Association. Lane wrote the first jail inspection manual for the Utah Sheriffs' Association, and as Executive Director of the Utah Department of Corrections was a strong advocate for full state funding for jail contracting and reimbursement; an issue very critical to the USA. Currently, another individual who is associated with the USA, Richard Billings, is serving in Iraq. Richard, who is one of the four jail inspectors who provide contract work for the USA replaced me in Iraq.
