This page only deals with Palestinian prisoners. They are subjected to military justice. They are incarcerated in Israeli prisons located outside the occupied territories, in violation of international law. Minors are the primary targets of arrests. Arrested for political motives, they are particularly exposed to arbitrary detention, torture, and mistreatments.

Prison Insider analyses prison conditions through a lens reliant on the authority in charge of correctional facilities. The platform does not formulate any opinions on the legitimacy of the governance of contested territories, States that are not internationally recognised or disputed borders. The presentation of countries and territories on its site is based, as much as possible, on international consensus. The display is restricted by available geographic information systems (Google Maps, ISO codes, etc.).
