Lynndie England is a former United States Army Reserve soldier who, along with 11 other military personnel of the 372nd Military Police Company, was convicted in the prisoner abuse scandal in the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad during the US army's occupation of Iraq. She was the most prominent figure that appeared in most of the photographic evidence of the incident, captured mainly by the prime accused and her then-lover, Specialist Charles Graner. While England was sentenced to three-years of imprisonment and a dishonorable discharge from the army for mistreating detainees and committing other crimes; Graner, who apparently manipulated and encouraged others to commit the crimes, was sentenced to 10 years in jail. England was paroled after serving 521 days at Naval Consolidated Brig, Miramar, but never apologized for her crimes even after being released. In a bid to garner sympathy from people, she released a biographical book, detailing how she was influenced into becoming the face of the crimes.
