Prison food below standard, society says

Jerusalem - Ma'an - The Israeli Prison Service is providing Palestinian prisoners with sub-par quantities and quality food in the Ashkelon jail, a prisoners' society said Friday.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society said detainees are offered one piece of fruit daily, depending on the season. Daily prisoner demands led to the IPS changing the type of bread provided to inmates, after inmates complained for the poor quality, the society added.

The society called on the IPS to immediately increase the quality and quantity of food rations in Ashkelon prison.
