This book deals with the contemporary history of the imprisonment of
Palestinians in Israeli prisons since 1967, and, since the 2000s, in
Palestinian facilities. The prison experience is widely shared in the
Occupied Palestinian Territories. It endurably marks personal and
collective stories. Since the Occupation of the Palestinian
Territories in 1967, mass incarceration has spun a prison web, a kind
of suspended detention. Approximately, 40 percent of the male
population has been to prison. It shows how the judicial and prison
practices applied to Palestinian residents of the OPT are major
fractal devices of control contributing to the management of Israeli
borders, and shape a specific bordering system based on a mobility
regime: such borders are mobile, networked, and endless. This history
of confinement is that of the prison web, and of the in-between
political, social, and personal spaces people weave between Inside and
Outside prison. Based on in-depth ethnographic fieldwork, oral and
written sources, archives, and extensive institutional documentation,
this political anthropology book deals with carceral citizenships and
subjectivities. Over time, imprisonment has had profound effects on
personal experiences: on masculinities, femininities, gender
relations, parentality, and intimacy. Woven like a web, this story is
built around places, moments, people, and their testimonies.
