Rehabilitation of Released Prisoners
in the Kibbutz:
From Isolation to Segregation
EFRAT SHOHAM
URI TIMOR
ABSTRACT The present research examines 110 released prisoners who
were sent for rehabilitation to the Kibbutz Movement by the Israeli Prisoner
Rehabilitation Service between 1983 and 2001. The research examines sev-
eral measures of their adjustment towards normative life during and after
their stay at the kibbutz. The research was based on interviews with each of
the offender's adoptive families and with the released prisoners themselves.
Program participant's reincarceration rate was 22.7%, which is much lower
than the 63% reincarceration rate in the general population of released pris-
oners in Israel. Findings show that the most significant predictors of success-
ful rehabilitation were length of stay in the kibbutz, work and social
integration, and adherence to kibbutz norms. doi: 10. 1300/JO76v44n01_01 [Ar-
