Michel Foucault’s seminal work examines the historical transition from public corporal punishment to the modern carceral system. By analyzing the shift in disciplinary techniques and the emergence of the prison, Foucault explores how institutional power and surveillance shape the human subject. This edition provides a rigorous investigation into the mechanisms of control that define contemporary societal structures.
