Megiddo prison

Israel

Megiddo Prison (Kele Meggido) is an Israeli prison facility located near the Megiddo Junction. It has gained notoriety for reports of abuse and torture against Palestinian prisoners. The prison itself was built over the ruins of the ancient Jewish village of Othnai, which was later replaced by a Roman army camp. The depopulated Palestinian village of Lajjun, which was captured by Israel's Golani Brigade in Operation Gideon in 1948, is also located nearby.
