It was located north of Kabul and was the location of a brick factory prior to the war in Afghanistan. The CIA adapted it for extrajudicial detention.
In the winter of 2005, the Salt Pit became known to the general public because of two incidents. In 2011, the Miami Herald indicated that the Salt Pit was the same facility that Guantanamo Bay detainees referred to as the dark prison—a fact subsequently confirmed in the CIA torture report.
