Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a new chapter to the Prisons Ordinance regulating volunteering in the Service. The Minister of National Security will be able to set by regulation the types of roles, qualification conditions and training required. A volunteer who meets the conditions will be able to act with limited prison guard powers (without internal search), but only if they have not been convicted of a serious criminal or disciplinary offense. A volunteer will not receive a salary, National Insurance or an employer-employee relationship, but will be treated as a prison guard regarding duties and protections, and is entitled to benefits in the event of a work injury.
