The Justice Department's Inspector General's office has completed a follow-up report finding abuse of Muslim prisoners at U.S. prisons. It also shows no one has been disciplined for the violations.

The treatment of Muslim prisoners was part of a semiannual report Fine produces about possible civil rights or civil liberties violations by the Justice Department.

One of the prisons is the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. We reported here on the abuse and recommendation of the Inspector General for disciplinary sanctions back in 2004. Videotapes confirmed the abuse. The Inspector General's earlier 2004 report that covered the period through the end of 2003 is available here. A September, 2004 update is here. The first report dated June, 2003 is available here. The latest report covers June 22 to the end of 2004 and should be available on the IG website soon. The pdf version is here.
