Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison by Michel Foucault

Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison, published in 1975, is a critical work by French philosopher and social theorist Michel Foucault. The book traces the historical development of the modern penal system and explores the broader implications of disciplinary mechanisms in society. Foucault examines how shifts in punishment practices—from public executions to the prison system—reflect broader changes in power relations and social control.
