Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Prisons Ordinance anchors the administrative release mechanism as a tool for easing overcrowding in places of incarceration, which allows the Prisons Commissioner to release prisoners before the end of their prison term for fixed periods set by law. As part of the Law, the Ordinance was amended and the list of offenses that negate eligibility for administrative release was expanded, so that prisoners convicted of offenses of treason and espionage will also not be eligible for a reduction of their imprisonment under this mechanism. In addition, the validity of the temporary provision regulating the expanded administrative release procedures was extended by an additional year, until 31 December 2026.
