The Wider Image: Inside an Islamic State prison
Islamic State built prison cells inside an ordinary villa in Mosul, as part of the group's tactic to boost the safety of jails and security centres by concealing them between houses. But other than that, the jails had the regular attributes of state-run detention centres where inmates have their documents and belongings taken away when they arrive, to be given back to them if and when they are released.
