BAGHDAD — The Iraqi government announced Monday that it would shut down a controversial jail that has been dogged by allegations of abuse. The jail in Baghdad’s high- security Green Zone, called Camp Honor, fell under the nominal supervision of the Justice Ministry. But it was actually controlled by two elite security branches affiliated with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s military office, the Baghdad Brigade and Counter-Terrorism Bureau. Despite orders for reform, allegations of abuse lingered, and it was ordered shut.
