oh yeah i can’t imsgine doing any analysis of prisons, especially one based on human constructs like culture without using the panopticon. but like you said it’s inescapable because he really just Did That
and idk im fully in favor of prison abolition but not under capitalism... obviously nonviolent offenders don’t need to be in prisons. especially not private prisons in the US which are nothing more than slave factories. but the conditions that create violent crime and violent criminals will continue as long as capitalism allows exploitation of marginalized groups and allows individuals to internalize and reinforce that exploitation. but i think we can move away from fully punitive based justice even now. but that’s not what ur paper is about lol!
