ההחלטה להחזיר לכלא את יונתן היילו חושפת את הטיפול הכושל של המדינה בשיקום אסירים: אחריות שנופלת בין שני משרדים ממשלתיים, מחסור באנשי מקצוע ותקציב זעום, של פחות מ-40 מיליון שקל, שלא מאפשר לעתים אפילו סיוע מינימלי • התוצאה: כ-80% מהאסירים לשעבר חוזרים לזירת הפשע בתוך שלוש שנים

= The decision to return Yonatan Hailo to prison reveals the state's failed handling of prisoner rehabilitation: responsibility that falls between two government ministries, a lack of professionals and a meager budget of less than NIS 40 million, which sometimes does not allow for even minimal assistance • The result: about 80% of the prisoners The former return to the scene of the crime within three years

As the meeting went ahead, Hamas said Israel would have to release all Palestinian prisoners from its jails to secure freedom for the hostages seized by Hamas fighters on October 7 https://perma.cc/NJ8X-ADH6

Thousands of Palestinians are held in 19 prisons in Israel and one inside the occupied West Bank.

If the prisoners are criminals or not is another point ... like how they get treated ...

Palestinians in Israeli prisons suffer—and die—from torture and poor living conditions Since 1967, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPSMO) has documented 72 deaths due to torture (Abu Samra 2020).

Israel has used them since its creation in 1948 to incarcerate Palestinians and criminalize their resistance Alongside the 4,650 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails documented by the Palestinian human rights organization Addameer (2022) ...

Palestinian male prisoners have even smuggled their sperm to their wives back home for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment Dallal al-Zabn was able to get pregnant in early 2012 using her husband’s sperm— the first documented success—smuggled from the jail in a small plastic bag placed in a date (Touma 2021).

They also tried prison breaks, most recently on September 6, 2021, when six Palestinian prisoners successfully escaped Jalbou Israeli Prison through a tunnel they dug (Shwaikh 2021).

The best known was in 1987 when six prisoners cut iron bars and escaped Gaza Israeli Prison (Bab el-Wad 2017) Also, in 1996, three prisoners in Ashkelon Prison dug a tunnel, two of whom escaped disguised in women’s clothing while the third was caught because of his men’s shoes (Metras 2021).
