Since the beginning of the Israeli occupation, prisons have been a central tool for oppressing Palestinians and attempting to break their will, serving as a means of systematic collective punishment. Over the decades, Israeli prisons and detention centers have not merely been places of incarceration, but arenas of systematic torture, both physical and psychological, and the denial of the most basic human rights. Conditions in these prisons have reached unprecedented levels of cruelty since October 7, 2023, amid the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. The prison authorities have launched sweeping retaliatory policies, including deliberate medical neglect, systematic torture, suspension of visits, drastic reductions in food and water, confiscation of basic necessities, and complete isolation from the outside world.
