There were several violations of human rights against the detainees, which included torture, rape, and physical abuse. There has been the question of who should get considered to be responsible for the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. There is a need to understand whether the prisoner abuse was from low-level bad apples, or it was from high up the command chain. Considering that military intelligence and military interrogators were in the room when the torture took place, then it can be said that the problem was from the set policies (Gordon,2017).

From Nina Tate’s medical profile, she possesses a height of 5’9 and weighs 203 pounds. Also, the respective medical practitioner calculated her body mass index, which is 30.
