Abstract

[This chapter demonstrates how the rules and functioning of military justice and mass incarceration policies have created over time an effective prison web over Palestinian Territories. The prison web targets both the individuals and their networks and a massive data collection system on the Palestinian population and social and political life in the Palestinian enclaves. It shows how judiciary and prison practices applied to Palestinians are main control devices that contribute to a bordering system anchored on a specific mobility regime. It describes how mobility is criminalized and how punishment is linked to and organizes Palestinians’ differential mobility regime even after their release from prison. This stratification is a main bordering factor. The prison system tied to military justice use arrests and detention to manage borders of the nation that are non-linear. They are shaping a dematerialized, networked, and highly individualized bordering system. Lastly, it demonstrates how mass incarceration policies and this networked bordering system became relatively cost-effective by the off-loading of some of its cost onto public and private actors of Palestinian society and the international community. The sustainability of main control devices such as military justice and the prison system has been obtained through neoliberal reforms and by the monetarization of the judiciary and the prison business it has created. These control and mobility management dispositifs (apparatuses) projected within the Occupied Territories have multiplied the border: it has become mobile, suspended, and endless.]
