Abstract

[For some men or women, the traces of prison last and become marks, wounds linked to traumatic events, or inner remains of the atmospheres of the prison. This chapter shows that the prison has effects on the bodies and it is, in return, incorporated as a moment from which one does not quite come out. It persists emotionally in perceptions, affects, and bonds. The extension of the prison experience through the imprisonment of the entourage contributes to this carceral continuum. Marriages between activists, ex-prisoners, or during the time of imprisonment, as well as the staggered or simultaneous imprisonments of several people from the same family weave this continuum that strongly participates to the porosity between the Inside and the Outside, and to the formation of a prisonerhood. Getting the prison out of oneself is all the more difficult as former inmates have to build or rebuild a trajectory brutally interrupted by years in detention, and for many, several times in a lifetime. The trajectories are traced in bits and pieces during the periods Outside, in the interstices. As shown in this chapter, for a few men and women who are cornered by social or economic duress, the carceralization of everyday life can present imprisonment in Israel as a loophole, a possibility, and a resource.]
