Israel
Israel’s prison system includes only one women’s prison, which is severely overcrowded. Inmates are often held in small cells with around six women sharing the limited space. This overcrowding, combined with reports of violence and mistreatment from prison guards, creates a challenging environment for the inmates.
The conditions within Israel’s women’s prison reflect broader issues related to gender and incarceration. The lack of resources and support for female inmates highlights the need for reform within the system, where the unique needs of women are often overlooked. The situation in Israel’s prisons underscores the importance of addressing gender-specific challenges within the criminal justice system.
