Pol-e-Charki

A vast Afghan prison complex, Pol-e-Charki contains a new American-financed high-security wing called the Afghan National Defence Facility. This contains 56 former Bagram prisoners, and a handful transferred from Guantanamo Bay. Originally built in the 1970s to house common criminals, Pol-e-Charki was expanded by the Afghan authority to absorb the ever-soaring number of detained militants; over 350 suspected Taliban militants have been sent to there since it reopened.
