Israel to Tighten Prison Conditions for Terrorists
(Jerusalem Post) Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan announced Wednesday that Israel will tighten prison conditions for terrorists while still respecting international law. "Making the terrorists' conditions worse is necessary both to create deterrence and to fulfill our moral duty to terror victims and their families," he said. The recommendations include reducing water consumption for prisoners, since terrorists often keep water faucets open all day as an act of defiance. Other measures include reducing canteen allotments in prison, mixing Hamas and Fatah prisoners in the same wing, and no longer allowing terrorists to cook for themselves.
