A joint committee set up by the defense and public security ministries recommends removing IDF soldiers from service in prisons.
The committee was set up in the wake of a scandal in which female guards doing their mandatory service in prisons alleged they had been pimped out to security prisoners.
The committee recommends gradually reducing the number of IDF soldiers in the prisons and replacing them with professional guards.
