Prisons Service Prepared to Accommodate 900 Disengagement Arrests

by Eliezer Rauchberger

The Prisons Service is prepared to accommodate the arrests of 900 people during the Disengagement process, 500 at Maassiyahu Jail and 400 at Dekel, according to a report by Prisons Service Commissioner Commander Yaakov Ganot.

If necessary, he says, the Prisons Service can clear facilities where foreign workers are being held and during the Disengagement Immigration Police will not make any arrests of foreigners staying illegally.

Ganot also says the Prisons Service is prepared for the arrest of people of all types and segments of the population, including women and youths, and has taken the steps needed to accommodate them socially, religiously and in terms of personal welfare.

In coordination with the police, four special court facilities have been set up to handle the arrested evacuees, if necessary, from the time of arrest until their confinement.

Minister of Internal Security Gidon Ezra said that every instance of disturbing the peace, such as resistance to the Disengagement or attempts to enter Gush Katif illegally, will be handled with severity. "We will not hesitate to use any means, including arrest, to avoid free passage and entry to Gush Katif," Ezra said.

In the event both parents are arrested, he added, the police will not separate them from their children and send them to an adoptive family but will have the children join their parents under custody.
