I was locked in a container
She may very well have been quartered in a shipping container, air conditioned and modified for use as a living space. I spent 13 months sleeping in a “can.” Better than a tent. The door probably was locked, from the inside. Standard physical security measure.
with no food,
Food in the living spaces attracts mice. What eats mice? Sawbacked vipers under the bed are no fun. At chow time she goes to the DFAC, escorted by her supervisor or a KBR Security officer.
no way to call my parents,
There are MWR and AT&T and KBR Phone Trailers in the IZ. She would probably have had to walk to one of them, with her escort. But it would not surprise me if she whined until her escort let her use his phone.
I did not have access to soap, toiletries, a tooth brush, or any of my belongings.
Her stuff was all at the crime scene, in the same building where her alleged attackers were quartered. I’m sure KBR Security was sorry for the inconvenience.
I was unable to leave, therefore I was imprisoned.
That is a very common accusation made by employees awaiting disposition and transportation. One does not just up and leave the IZ. There are procedures that must be followed for scheduling, manifesting, accountability, and follow on transportation. Having lost what could have been a good gig, many are impatient to cut their losses and get the hell out of there. Understandable. KBR Security in the IZ most likely provided her with close supervision /personal security to ensure safety and prevent any more incidents. It is unlikely that she was restricted to quarters, though she was probably instructed to stay away from firemen.
placed under armed guard by Halliburton.
I have never heard of an armed Halliburton security guard. If there were armed guards involved perhaps somebody took threats of retaliation from the accused seriously, if there were any threats.
The role of the Army in this incident would probably be limited to the CSH if she was on the USMI contract. State is the client for United States Mission Iraq
