"It's called open but it doesn't feel open," said Angusam Hadish, 28, a former political prisoner in Eritrea who spent nearly two years in the nearby Saharonim prison after being arrested on entering Israel from Egypt. "In Saharonim you knew it was closed and had no hope of getting out. Here they say it's open but when you go from place to place, there's one guard after another telling you to go back."
