A brilliant work from the most influential philosopher since Sartre.
In this indispensable work, a brilliant thinker 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.
Quotes
From Wikiquote[L]'âme, prison du corps.
Is it surprising that prisons resemble factories, schools, barracks, hospitals, which all resemble prisons?
It is ugly to be punishable, but there is no glory in punishing. Hence the double system of protection that justice has set up between itself and the punishment it imposes.
The disappearance of public executions marks therefore the decline of the spectacle; but it also marks a slackening of the hold on the body.
