The Birth of the Prison

Michel Foucault 1975 333p 5 x 8

Foucault 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. The four main parts include: torture, punishment, discipline and prison.
