[Panopticism]<br />

<strong>The</strong> public execution was <strong>the</strong> logical culmination <strong>of</strong> a procedure governed by <strong>the</strong> Inquisition.<br />

<strong>The</strong> practice <strong>of</strong> placing individuals under 'observation' is a natural extension <strong>of</strong> justice imbued<br />

with disciplinary methods <strong>and</strong> examination procedures. Is it surprising that <strong>the</strong> cellular prison,<br />

with its regular chronologies, forced labour, its authorities <strong>of</strong> surveillance <strong>and</strong> registration, its<br />

experts in normality, who continue <strong>and</strong> multiply <strong>the</strong> functions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> judge, should have<br />

become <strong>the</strong> modern instrument <strong>of</strong> penality? Is it surprising that prisons resemble factories,<br />

schools, barracks, hospitals, which all resemble prisons? (p. 227-8)<br />
