Baghlan Prison: Severe Damage to $11.3 Million Facility Requires Extensive Remedial Action

Abstract

On September 28, 2010, the Department of States Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) awarded a contract to Omran Holding Group (OHG), an Afghan firm, to build a 495-inmate prison in Baghlan province. OHG completed construction of the Baghlan prison on November 8, 2012. For this inspection, SIGAR assessed (1) INLs management and oversight of construction, and (2) whether the facility is being used as intended and maintained. SIGAR conducted its work in Kabul, Afghanistan from January through May 2014, in accordance with the Quality Standards for Inspection and Evaluation published by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency. SIGAR inspectors were unable to visit the prison because of security conditions and instead relied upon INL and contractor site visit reports, interviews with INL officials, and other project documentation.
