c. Issue: Detainee Release Program Discussion: A major bone of contention for the populace of AO DOYLE was the detention of innocent people and the inability of the Regiment to release them from prison once they were deemed innocent (Habbariyah, Falcon Hunters, Radioactive Truck Guys etc.). The five layers of bureaucracy between the unit on the ground dealing with the families of the innocent detainee and the prison that releases them was extremely difficult to deal with. Detainees would often be held for two to five months after they were deemed innocent. Recommendation: Better direct coordination between line units and Abu Ghurab/Bucca Prisons should be established in order to facilitate the release of innocent detainees and their subsequent pick up from prison.

d. Issue: Detainee personal property. Discussion: When detainees are released from Abu Ghurab their personal belongings are often not given back to them. For example the Radioactive Truck Guys and the Habbariyah detainees were not given their money, jewelry or personal identification. Great care and emphasis is placed on cataloguing and forwarding all of their personal property when we forward a detainee up. Recommendation: Develop and implement a detainee personal property tracking system and ensure it is incorporated into the release process.
