Israel considers using “Crocodile Prison Guards” for Palestinian detainees

Using America’s “Alligator Alcatraz” as a model, Israel has taken a legal step toward advancing a controversial proposal to surround prisons holding Palestinian detainees with crocodile-filled moats after new wildlife regulations reportedly removed a major legal obstacle.

World Israel News The plan, proposed by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, is being assessed by the Israel Prison Service as part of a new high-security prison project.

Ben-Gvir’s proposal, dubbed the “crocodile prison” envisions using crocodiles as a living security barrier around prisons such as Ketziot Prison. The plan is intended to deter escape attempts by Palestinian security prisoners while reducing the costs associated with prison security.
