A recently released detainee awaits his first after-release

A recently released detainee awaits his first after-release meal in the Logar province deputy governor's office at the governor's compound at Combat Operating Post Pul'e Alem, Afghanistan, Nov. 23, 2011. The former detainee was transported from the Detention Facility in Parwan to Logar, his home province, where he was formally released back to his family and village after he confirmed his commitment to live a peaceful way of life and signed a pledge to renounce violence. Since the Afghan-led reintegration program began in 2010, more than 475 detainees have been released at community shuras in 13 provinces after a careful review board process determined their sustainability for reintegration.
