The Commissioner of the Prisons Service, Rabbi Gonder Cathy Perry, appeared today (Monday) to continue her testimony at the government inspection committee for the incident of the escape of the security prisoners from Gilboa prison. The Shevast Police Commissioner testified that three weeks before the escape of the terrorists, the Shevast Security Division approved the definition of the prison as a "prison with a maximum security level".
Perry revealed that the Shavas facilities currently contain about 1,000 prisoners above the permitted standard and this is due to the heavy load on the prison service and in light of this, detainees are forced to stay in the detention rooms of the police stations. "Every night dozens of detainees stay in a police station," said the commissioner. All kinds of solutions come up.
Saharonim facility is 50% populated, but the security concept does not allow inmates to be housed there."
Among other things, Perry revealed to the committee that despite serious security deficiencies that were discovered in the prison after the escape, and despite the fact that the prison's construction plans were published to everyone on the Internet and that possible loopholes could be learned from them, the SBS Commissioner said that three weeks before the escape of the terrorists from Gilboa Prison, Brigade The security of the Shevas approved the definition of the prison as "a prison with a maximum security level".

The head of the committee to investigate the escape of the terrorists from Gilboa prison slammed the Shevast Commissioner: "You did not want the investigation committee to be established." Shortly after the escape of the six terrorists from Gilboa Prison, Internal Security Minister Amr Bar-Lev informed her that he preferred that the incident of the escape be investigated, exclusively by the Shin Bet - but 48 years later he retracted and decided to establish the inspection committee.

Bar-Lev decided not to comment on the things, but they caused puzzlement among the members of the committee because they were only told yesterday and not the first testimony that the commission gave to them several months ago.
As mentioned, yesterday the following exchange took place between the chairman and the commissioner:
The Chairman: I recognized yesterday when you discovered this secret (that the minister said at first that the commission would investigate and not open an investigation and later retracted it - Y.B.), you didn't say it happily, it's a shame it didn't happen and I say that if it had happened, you The commissioner would investigate, it would have ended with the results of Freddy (prison commander) and below.
Perry: "You decide what I would have decided..."
Finkelstein: "I appreciate."
Perry: Sir, I appreciate that I might have ignored materials or facts that might have come before me.
I never said 'Freddie and
staff'" Pinksheltein: "And when we pressed my lady you said 'maybe the district staff officers as well.'"
