Discipline and punish : the birth of the prison [electronic resource] / Michel Foucault ; translated from the French by Alan Sheridan.

In this work, the author 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.
