Saddam Hussein tends a garden in Camp Cropper prison
Saddam Hussein, 67, tends a palm tree in a small garden at Camp Cropper near Baghdad airport. He reads the Quran daily, writes poetry, and grows a garden in a 9 by 12 foot cell while his 11 former aides remain nearby. Prison conditions are described by Iraq’s human rights minister Bakhtiar Amin as monitored and constrained with access to lawyers pending Iraqi custody and ongoing interrogations by U.S. investigators.
