"Systematic torture": In an Israeli jail, being a Palestinian
Israel increased the number of arrests it made in the occupied West Bank and the abuse of its overcrowded jail system. Former Palestinian inmates describe how Israeli jail guards routinely mistreated them, forcing them to kneel, depriving them of necessities, and torturing them. Concerning trends are shown in the growing number of Palestinian inmates, including women and children. The Palestine Prisoners' Society draws attention to the extent of mistreatment and dehumanization committed by Israeli security personnel, who even brag about their acts in video footage that Israeli TV's Channel 13 broadcasts, exposing appalling circumstances within the jails. Families of inmates suffer because of this; some of them never make it out alive. The anguish that the families of deceased Palestinians go through is made worse by Israeli authorities' refusal to release their bodies.
