The "שירות בתי הסוהר" (its formal denomination) (English: (Israel) Prison
Service, shortened to IPS) was established in 1949. In 2004 a law was passed by
Parliament allowing private prisons and plans for privately run prisons were
introduced in 2006. However in 2009 Israeli Supreme Court ruled that private
prisons are an unconstitutional violation of basic human rights and compensation
had to be paid to a company that had already completed construction of the first
private prison, near Beersheba.
In 2006 transfer of responsibility for
the security detention facilities held by the IDF (Ktziot and Ofer) were
transferred, as well as all detention facilities under the jurisdiction of the
Israel Police) were handed over and by year's end, currently totalling operates
33 prison facilities throughout the country.
Shabas (from Hebrew "שב״ס",
its official abbreviation, translated to English as IPS) then was then
recognized as a national prison organization, belonging to the law enforcement
system and subordinate to the Ministry of Public Security.
