Sabrina Harman
Sabrina D. Harman (born January 5, 1978) is an American former soldier who was court-martialed by the United States Army for prisoner abuse after the 2003–04 Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal. Along with other soldiers of her Army Reserve unit, the 372nd Military Police Company, she was accused of allowing and inflicting physical and psychological abuse on Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib prison, a notorious prison in Baghdad during the United States' occupation of Iraq.
Harman was convicted of maltreatment of detainees, conspiracy to maltreat detainees, and dereliction of duty. She was sentenced to six months in prison, forfeiture of all her pay and benefits, demoted, and given a bad conduct discharge. She was imprisoned in the Naval Consolidated Brig, Miramar in San Diego, California.
Harman consistently acknowledged a fear that the abuses being committed at Abu Ghraib, both during her time at the facility, and afterward, would help incite further radicalization in the region. During her sentencing, she also acknowledged having "failed my duties and failed my mission to protect and defend".
Sabrina D. Harman was born on January 5, 1978, in Lorton, Virginia. Her father was a homicide detective. Harman graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in Springfield, Virginia.
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Harman joined the Army Reserve and was assigned to the Cresaptown, Maryland-based 372nd Military Police company. Harman worked for a time as an assistant manager at Papa John's in Alexandria, Virginia, before her company was activated for duty in Iraq in February 2003, and was deployed to Fort Lee, Virginia for additional training; however, this was in combat support, not internment and resettlement. Harman, an MP, was stationed at Abu Ghraib as a guard.[citation needed]
Harman was the second soldier to be tried for mistreating prisoners at Abu Ghraib. She was depicted in several of the most notorious photos taken at Abu Ghraib in late October and early November 2003, and she is accused of taking other pictures.
In late October 2003, Harman wrote to Kelly Bryant, her roommate in Virginia whom she called her "wife", confessing her role in the abuse and expressing her discomfort with the experience.
Harman explained that her Military Police unit deferred to practices already being conducted by military officers and civilian contractors present at the facility:
