Maj. Gen. Jerry Cannon, United States Forces-Iraq deputy commanding general for detainee operations and provost marshal general, speaks to the media during a press conference at Camp Cropper, Iraq, July 15, just prior to the ceremony in which USF-I transferred the Cropper Theater Internment Facility to the government of Iraq. The Cropper TIF, the last major U.S. run detention facility in Iraq, currently houses approximately 1,500 detainees being held on government of Iraq arrest warrants, detention orders or convictions. The facility was used by U.S. forces for the care and custody of detainees since April 2003 and can hold up to 4,000 prisoners.
