What did ____ say about the birth of the prison?
(Foucault) there are two contrasting forms of punishment
sovereign power - typical of the period before the 19th century when monarchs had complete control over the country, disfiguring and visible punishments were inflicted on the body as a brutal and emotional spectacle
disciplinary power - dominant from the 19th century, a system of discipline that seeks to govern the mind as well as the body through surveillance
foucault argues sovereign power disappeared from the uk purely because disciplinary power was more effective for controlling people
