Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The "special leave for prisoners" mechanism, which was anchored as a temporary provision in the Prisons Ordinance against the backdrop of the incarceration crisis, authorizes the Prisons Commissioner or a senior prison officer authorized for this purpose to grant prisoners special leave for a period of up to 45 days. This arrangement applies solely to prisoners who are citizens or residents of Israel whose remaining sentence on the day of release on leave does not exceed 45 days, and does not apply to prisoners convicted of serious offenses, such as security offenses, serious violence offenses, sex offenses, and domestic violence. Now, as part of the Law (Amendment No. 4), the validity of the temporary provision enabling the granting of such leaves has been extended, so that the arrangement will remain in effect until 31 July 2026.
