Hapishanenin Doğuşu

The transition from the old political system, where power derived its power from ostentation, to the modern political system, in which it became as invisible as possible and increasingly; On the one hand, it is determined by the establishment of a management apparatus used by anonymous people instead of the ruler who personifies the power, and on the other hand, by the transition from public punishment to secret punishment.

The power that puts itself forward has prevented the formation of the individual; However, the modern power, retreating into the darkness, wants to individualize everyone; because to individualize means to keep under surveillance and to punish, that is, to dominate.

Thus, modern power has individualized, recorded, and digitalized the child by surrounding it with schools, the patient with hospitals, the insane with asylums, the military with the army, and the criminal with prisons, thus becoming dominant. When every person is registered somewhere, everyone will be under control and kept under surveillance. Modern power is great detention.
