What Foucault says is simple but he complicates it by analysing it and then analysing it again.

Panoptic Prisons

"perfectly individualised and consistently visible"

Small isolated cages (very controlling)

"to enclose, to deprive of light and to hide"

eliminates other people to think it safe to be watched. But its a trap.

"There is no copying, no noise, no chatter, no waste of time."

"one is totally seen, without ever seeing."

"An inspector arriving unexpectedly at the centre of the Panopticon will be able to judge at a glance"

The supervisor can be supervised
