As of May 1, 2009, SAI is no longer referred to as a "boot camp (correctional)". It is a full service Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Initiative (MPRI) In-Reach Correctional Facility.
History
Under the administrative control of the Cooper Street Correctional Facility, the Special Alternative Incarceration program (SAI) began in 1988 as an alternative to prison for male probationers convicted of certain crimes and selected by courts. In 1992 the program was expanded to include both male and female prisoners and probationers. State law precludes participation if convicted of a number of primarily assaultive crimes.
In January 2014, a Special Alternative Incarceration program was started at the Huron Valley Women's Facility where all female offenders are now housed.
In addition, there are several "suspension" facilities (Hebrew:מתקן השהייהMitkan Hashhaya) run by the IDF's Military Police Corps, subordinate to their respective regional brigades, which compliment the incarceration facilities and hold Palestinian detainees for a short period before they are sorted and moved to an incarceration facility run by the Israel Prison Service.
History
The need for detention centers to hold large numbers of Palestinian detainees in Israel arose during the First Intifada. Beginning in 1988, the IDF built and expanded several such facilities adjacent to existing infrastructures at Megiddo Prison, Camp Ktzi'ot (Nitzana) and Camp Ofer. A small incarceration facility was also opened to the north of the Gaza Strip, near the Erez Crossing, as well as several facilities in the West Bank: Shomron, Etzion, Efraim, Menashe (Salem), Binyamin, etc.
Ofer Prison (Hebrew:כלא עופר, Kele Ofer), formerly officially known as Incarceration Facility 385 (מתקן כליאה 385), is an Israeliincarceration facility (מתקן כליאה mitkan kli'a, abbr. Matak) located in the West Bank, between Ramallah/Beituniya and Giv'at Ze'ev. It is one of three facilities of the same nature, including the Megiddo and Ktzi'ot prisons.
When under IDF control, it was capable of holding up to 800 prisoners, both tried and those under administrative detention. As of December 2008, it holds about 1,100 Palestinian prisoners.
History
Camp Ofer was originally founded in December 1968, at the location of a former Jordanian Army base from before the Six-Day War. It was named after lieutenant colonelZvi Ofer, the commander of the Haruv Reconnaissance Unit, who was killed in action earlier in the same year.
The prison was built in the base in 1988, after the onset of the First Intifada. Following the Oslo Accords, and the numerous prisoner releases of 1995, Ofer's remaining prisoners and detainees were moved to Megiddo Prison, and Ofer was closed.
