Discipline and punish : the birth of the prision

In the Middle Ages there were gaols and dungeons, but punishment was for the most part a spectacle. The economic changes and growing popular dissent of the 18th century made necessary a more systematic control over the individual members of society, and this in effect meant a change from punishment, which chastised the body, to reform, which touched the soul. 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 reveals that between school, factories, barracks and hospitals all share a common organization, in which it is possible to control the use of an individual's time and space hour by hour. --

The Monarch And The Power Of The State Against The Offending Individual. Nowhere Was This Tendency More Evident Than In The Spectacle Of Public Executions. Those Convicted Of Murder, Piracy, Counterfeiting, Or Other Notable Capital Crimes Would Be Taken To A Public Place For Hanging Or Decapitation, And Certain Kinds Of Crimes Warranted Particularly Gruesome Punishments. In Discipline And Punish, Social Theorist Michel Foucault Directly Confronts And Challenges A Number Of Existing Ideas Surrounding The Prison Reforms Of The Late 1700s And Early 1800s, And Even Into The Twentieth Century. By Looking At The Evolution Of Justice Systems (focusing Primarily On France), He Suggests That The Shift Away From Public Executions And Towards The Idea Of Incarceration And Reform Within Prison Walls Was A Means Of Reframing The Image Of The Power Of Society Over The Individual. Public Executions Often Had The Effect Of Making A Criminal Into A Public Martyr, And The Ballads And Broadsides Printed For The Common People Did Less To Condemn The Crime And More To Glorify The Criminal. By Shifting The Focus Of Justice Into The Prison And Out Of The Public Eye, Authorities Would Have More Direct Control Over The Lives Of Those Who Had Violated The Norms Of Society.

Barely two hundred and fifty years ago a man condemned of attempting to assassinate the King of France was drawn and quartered in a grisly spectacle that suggested an unmediated duel between the violence of the criminal and the violence of the state. This groundbreaking book by the most influential philosopher since Sartre compels us to reevaluate our assumptions about all the ensuing reforms in the penal institutions of the West. For as he examines innovations that range from the abolition of torture to the institution of forced labor and the appearance of the modern penitentiary, Michel Foucault suggests that punishment has shifted its focus from the prisoner's body to the soul and that our very concern with rehabilitation encourages and refines criminal activity. Lucidly reasoned and deftly marshaling a vast body of research, Discipline and Punish is a genuinely revolutionary book, whose implications extend beyond the prison to the minute power relations of our society. On 2 March 1757 Damiens the regicide condemmed 'to make the amende honorable before the main door of the Church of Paris', where he was to be 'taken and conveyed in a cart, wearing nothing but a a shirt, holding a torch of burning wax weighing two pounds'; then, 'in the said cart, to the place de Greve, where, on a scaffold that will be erected there, the flesh will be torn from his breasts, arms, thighs and calves with red-hot pincers, his right hand, holding the knife with which he committed the said parricide, burnt with sulphur, and,on those places where the flesh will be torn away, poured molten lead, boiling oil, burning resin, wax and sulphur melted together and then his body drawn and quartered by four horses and his limbs and body consumed by fire, reduced to ashes and his ashes thrown to the winds' (Pieces originales . . ., 372-4).

In this brilliant work, the most influential philosopher since Sartre suggests that such vaunted reforms as the abolition of torture and the emergence of the modern penitentiary have merely shifted the focus of punishment from the prisoner's body to his soul.

Argues that prison as discipline has spread since the 17th century when torture of the body gave way to punishment of the soul through rehabilitation.

In this brilliant study, one of the most influential philosophers alive sweeps aside centuries of sterile debate about prison reform and gives a highly provocative account of how penal institutions and the power to punish became a part of our lives. Foucault explains the alleged failures of the modern prison by showing how the very concern with rehabilitation encourages and refines criminal activity A brilliant work from the most influential philosopher since Sartre.
