Olmert, Katsav, Pinto go on furlough from prison for Rosh Hashanah
Former prime minister Ehud Olmert, former president Moshe Katsav and Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto left prison on Sunday morning after receiving furlough for Rosh Hashanah.
The three big-name prisoners were among 260 inmates to be let out for Rosh Hashanah, which is considered a particularly popular furlough as it's a long 96-hour-long break from prison. The inmates will return to prison on Wednesday morning.
Olmert, Katsav and Pinto have been regularly going on furlough since they meet the criteria, including having already served a quarter of their sentence.
