Discipline and punish : the birth of the prison / Discipline & punish Michel Foucault ; translated from the French by Alan Sheridan. - 2nd Vintage Books ed. - New York : Vintage Books, 1995. - 333 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.
Originally published: London : Allen Lane, 1977.

Pt. 1. Torture. The body of the condemned -- The spectacle of the scaffold -- Pt. 2. Punishment. Generalized punishment -- The gentle way in punishment -- Pt. 3. Discipline. Docile bodies : the art of distributions, the control of activity, the organization of geneses, the composition of forces -- The means of correct training : hierarchical observation, normalizing judgement [sic], the examination -- Panopticism -- Pt. 4. Prison. Complete and austere institutions -- Illegalities and delinquency -- The carceral.
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.
