    Foucault builds on Bentham's concept of the panopticon prison, where inmates are constantly visible but do not know when they are being watched, to illustrate how discipline functions as a mechanism of power that turns inmates into objects of observation rather than subjects of communication.

    Foucault

    Panopticism

    What is?
    Foucault builds on Bentham's conceptualization of the panopticon as he elaborates upon the function of disciplinary mechanisms in such a prison and illustrated the function of discipline as an apparatus of power (wikipedia) The ever-visible inmate, Foucault suggests, is always "the object of information, never a subject in communication"
