TID-BIT: Prison Privatisation Unlawful

From the wires, a very interesting decision from the High Court of Justice in Israel, ruling that the privatisation of prisons "severely violate[s] the prisoners' basic human rights to dignity and freedom". 

As far as I can see, the English version of the decision is not yet available on the Court's website, but there is a useful synposis and analysis on Yale's Comparative Administrative Law blog:
