Biography

Sabrina D. Harman (born January 5, 1978) is an American former soldier who was court-martialed by the United States Army for prisoner abuse after the 2003–04 Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal. Along with other soldiers of her Army Reserve unit, the 372nd Military Police Company, she was accused of allowing and inflicting physical and psychological abuse on Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib prison, a notorious prison in Baghdad during the United States' occupation of Iraq. Harman was convicted of maltreatment of detainees, conspiracy to maltreat detainees, and dereliction of duty. She was sentenced to six months in prison, forfeiture of all her pay and benefits, demoted, and given a bad conduct discharge. She was imprisoned in the Naval Consolidated Brig, Miramar in San Diego, California. Harman consistently acknowledged a fear that the abuses being committed at Abu Ghraib, both during her time at the facility, and afterward, would help incite further radicalization in the region. During her sentencing, she also acknowledged having "failed my duties and failed my mission to protect and defend".
