3 unusual facts about Saharonim Prison


Saharonim Prison

Since 2010 provisions were made to detain the immigrants in the old Ktzi'ot Prison, formally used as a detention camp for Palestinians.

In the spring of 2012 the construction of the Saharonim Prison was started, exempt from most local and national regulations, as requested by the Israeli Defense Ministry.

Together with the Ktzi'ot prison, Sadot prison and the Nachal Raviv tent camp they detain Sudanese and Eritrean asylum seekers who crossed the border from Egypt to Israel.
