Prison Six (Hebrew: כלא שש Kele Shesh), officially Confinement Base 396 (Hebrew: בסיס כליאה 396 Bsis Kli'a 396) is an Israeli military prison located near Atlit, Israel, on Oren Junction.

It is the second military prison for IDF soldiers, after Prison Four in Tzrifin (Camp Yadin). Prison Six can contain about 350 prisoners.

Prison Six generally contains prisoners from the Northern Command, as well as officers and senior NCOs. During an emergency, the 393rd Battalion takes over Prison Six and converts it into a national POW camp (Hebrew: מחנה שבויים ארצי mahane shvu'im artzi) for enemy officers and other quality POWs. Israeli prisoners are either released or transferred to Prison Four.
