Tomer-Yerushalmi disappeared for several hours on Sunday after she announced her resignation, with speculation swirling in the press of a possible suicide attempt. FRANCE 24's Jennie Shin reports.

Today in Labor History May 4, 1946: The U.S. government deployed marines to end the Battle of Alcatraz. It began as a failed prison escape. It turned into a war-like battle, with marines using grenades against prisoners and tactics they had used in Japan. Three of the perpetrators and two prison officials died in the fighting. Fourteen other officers were injured. The government later executed two more prisoners for participating in the riot. One of the prisoners who died in the riot, had recently petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus. He claimed the cops had beat a confession out of him and he had hospital records to prove it.

Opposition Leader #YairLapid said the riots on Monday showed that #Netanyahu is “weak” and has lost control over his government, urging him to fire ministers involved in the break-ins.
“We are not on the brink of the abyss, we are in the abyss,” Lapid warned in a statement. “All the red lines were crossed today.” #Israel #PrisonerAbuse #Gaza

US prisoners are being assigned dangerous jobs. But what happens if they are hurt or killed?
#unitedstates #humanrights #prisonreform #laborrights #prisonerabuse #news #worldnews
An Associated Press investigation into prison labor in the United States found that prisoners who are hurt or killed on the job are often being denied the rights and protections offered to other American workers. These prisoners are being placed in dangerous jobs, sometimes with little or no training. They pick up trash along busy highways, fight wildfires, and operate heavy machinery. They work on industrial-sized farms and meat-processing plants tied to the supply chains of large, iconic companies, from McDonald’s to Target. But incarcerated workers and their families often have little or no recourse when things go wrong.
