Israel is a distinct immigration state and its current nature has been molded and affected by the myriad of waves of immigrants that washed over its shores (Amir and Horowitz 2003). Moreover, these immigrants met the Arab society that lived, worked, and took root in Israel even before the massive immigrant waves began. Thus, Israel gave birth to a unique society with a pluralistic nature that collects and combines various religions, ethnic orientations, and nationalities. The successive immigrations (“Aliya”) from different countries and regions around the world have created different ethnic subcultures. Thanks to the Law of Return (1950), Jews have returned to Israel from all over the world and received citizenship under the Citizenship Law (1950). These citizens joined their Jewish brothers who immigrated before the State was founded, and the resident Arab population. As a result, the terms “Citizens of Israel” or “Israeli Society” do not represent a single social-cultural fabric. With each Aliya, every immigrant brought social-cultural capital that was different and distinct from the others and so helped create a versatile and polyphonic society in terms of ethnicity, religion, etc., which maintains social, cultural, lingual, and religious gaps among its members. Through the 62 years of its existence, the State of Israel created a polarized, multifaceted society composed of individuals who originate from various countries. Added to these are the national, gendered, and religious conflicts that divided, tore, and deepened the existing tensions and gaps in society. The unique nature of Israeli society and the fissures within it have also affected the prisoner population in Israeli prisons. The community of prisoners reflects, in microcosm, the composition of individuals in general society, although the relative portion of members of ethnic, religious, gender, and social status groups is different in prison than in general society. The population of prisoners in prisons worldwide is overrepresented by members of that society’s lower socioeconomic statuses; Israel is no different, and so we can find an overrepresentation of individuals from Near-East ethnic groups and of the Arab population, who do not represent their proportion in the general population.
