Camp Cropper Prison - Guard Duty - A U.S. Army prison guard watches over Iraqi detainees September 19, 2007 at the Camp Cropper Prison in Baghdad, Iraq. Almost 5 years into the Iraq War, the United States is now responsible for some 25,000 detainees in Iraq, a figure that continues to rise, as more Iraqis, ranging from hardcore insurgents to innocent civilians, enter the penal system faster than the Iraqi court system can put them to trial.
