Neve Tirtza Women's Prison
Neve Tirtza Prison (Hebrew: בית סוהר נווה תרצה) is Israel's only women's prison.
Neve Tirtza opened in 1968. Before it opened, female prisoners were held in special women's wings of what were otherwise men's prisons. It is one of several prisons located in Ramla and is directly adjacent to Maasiyahu Prison. In 2019, there were 200 women incarcerated at Neve Tirtza.
