Discipline and punish : the birth of the prison

Discipline and punish : the birth of the prison

Foucault shows the development of the Western system of prisons, police organizations, administrative and legal hierarchies for social control - and the growth of disciplinary society as a whole. He also demonstrates that prisons, schools, factories, and hospitals all share a common organization, in which it is possible to control the use of an individual's time and space.
