Lynndie England, the U.S. soldier incarcerated for abusing detainees in Iraq, was badly burned in a prison kitchen accident, her mother said on Thursday.
England works in the prison's kitchen, where she suffered second- and possibly third-degree burns from being splattered with grease over her chest as she removed chickens from a tall oven, her mother, Terrie England, said in an interview.
"She was in severe pain," she said of the December 14 incident. "Everybody in the prison heard the scream."
Terrie England, who is caring for England's infant during her incarceration, faulted prison officials for not giving better treatment during a visit to the emergency room.
"They gave her nothing," she said. "When this happened I was furious. ... To think they give you nothing for pain."
Brewster Schenck, a spokesman for Consolidated Brig Miramar, confirmed England had been assigned to the kitchen, where inmates prepare and serve food mostly for other prisoners. He declined to discuss the accident or her medical condition.
Terrie England said the arrival of her daughter at the military prison caused a lot of curiosity, including autograph requests. "It wasn't just prisoners, it was guards and everything," she said.
She said Lynndie England had been taking a Bible prayer class in prison and telephoning home from prison about once a week.
In a September interview with Reuters, England blamed her involvement in the Abu Ghraib scandal on then-lover Charles Graner, who is serving a 10-year sentence on abuse charges and is the father of her baby.

What? Did they keep the leash on her? Snap photos of it?
I wonder what REALLY happened?
Probably the "muslim sisterhood" nailed her.
I hope this thread doesn't become vicious. At some point, a thread can be so vicious it will be deleted outright.
I wish I could work up enough Give A Sh*t... But I can't. Kitchen accidents happen all the time.
Jack.
She spill the grease from a pan? No way you are going to get enough grease to seriously hurt someone spattered directly off of a baked chicken.
That remark was uncalled for...
She did wrong and is being punished for it. Nevertheless, I will pray that she is OK. Remember, not even the worst sinner is beyond redemption.
Oops! That should have read, "I would not agree..."

Too bad FR doesn't have a "Think" button next to the "Spell" one.
I don't give a sh++ what the hell they did to those PRISONERS OF WAR. It's War.
Stuck on A-Hole, Tec?
No one uses spell check. What makes you think they will use think?
lol, true, true (including myself)
