Nabiullah Safi, 23, a drug addict, is chained to a wall during his 40-day incarceration at the Mia Ali Baba shrine in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, Saturday, June 1, 2013. It is believed locally that 40 days in chains and with a restricted diet at the 300-year old shrine can cure the mentally ill, drug addicts and those possessed by spirits. In Afghanistan, wracked by poverty and decades of war, many don't have access to even basic health care, let alone facilities for addicts and the mentally ill. Frustrated families often turn to places like Mia Ali Baba, hoping for a miracle but the prescription is drastic. (AP Photo/Rahmat Gul), APTOPIX
