| Abstract: |
|
The Israel Prison Service (IPS) is not only a national incarceration agency whose role is to protect both its inmates and society. It also has an educational function: To provide the general public with a glimpse of what goes on between the walls of Israel's prisons and to enable an authentic meeting between inmates and the members of the general public.
How can this dream be realized? Three unique photographic exhibitions were recently opened in the Rimonim Prison in the Sharon area. They provide the general public with a glimpse inside the prison and provide its inmates with the opportunity to express themselves to the outside world. The exhibitions focus on a variety of topics – from human rights in the universal sense to the small moments, hidden from most eyes, of life in the world of the IPS.
