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.
