Groundbreaking report details Israel's inhumane conditions for isolated prisoners

Report by Israel Bar Association, the first external review of the country's prisons, says some sections 'look more like a dungeon.'

A classified report by the Israel Bar Association obtained by Haaretz provides a glimpse into the harrowing conditions prisoners separated from the main jail population must endure.

According to the document, which is the first external review of the Prison Service, the isolation wings at the Ayalon and Shikma prisons are not fit for human habitation and "look more like a dungeon," while most solitary cells in prisons across the country are "crammed, rancid with smells of sewer and mold, and infested with insects."
