| Summary/Abstract |
A prison is a unique institution since its environment is founded on a discourse of power between the prison staff, using force under the authority given to them by the state, and the inmate group, using counter-power. This article discusses the unique warden’s role and prison management in Israel with an emphasis on the adoption of rehabilitation approach and defining recidivism prevention as a social target. Such a policy can retain human dignity and human rights in prison, save money and bring significant social benefits to society.
