Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison | Michel 1926-1984 Foucault

Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison | Michel 1926-1984 Foucault

A bit of an obvious choice for this prompt!
Foucault examines the prison system in the Western world and the treatment of the #criminal class, whilst reflecting on the institutionalization of society as a whole.
