C/O Ted Olson, St. Louis Correctional Facility, has recently returned to the U.S. after serving with the 119th Field Artillery Unit in Iraq. His unit was deployed at Abu Ghraib prison for 13 months.

C/O Olson also worked at a level five detainee camp where he was instrumental in instituting many safety

and security procedures for that camp. His unit handled the high level detainees and insurgents and assisted with the transports of hundreds of detainees and convicted Iraqi prisoners. Unfortunately the unit lost one soldier to a sniper on a convoy.

"C/O Olson’s return date to the facility is uncertain at this time," said Warden Blaine Lafler. "We’re proud of Ted and his service to our country and look forward to his return to work."
