By Foucault
How did we get from being a society that publicly punishes, hangs, flogs its criminals, to a society that quietly hides them away? We become more efficient. The tools of that efficiency can be used to guide society as a whole.
Now we all live in a Carceral society where control is exercised, not through the threat of punishment, but through surveillance, ranking and the gentle pervasive insistence of the norm. Society has became more effective at standardizing its values.
"Power and knowledge directly imply one another. "
