Additionally, he maintains that that this new means of punishment becomes the seed for ever growing control of an entire society with hospitals, factories, and even educational institutions modeled on the modern prison system.

"Panopticism" is a social theory created by Michel Foucault in his book Discipline and Punish. He defines this term as “the general principle of a new 'political anatomy ' whose object and end are not the relations of sovereignty but the relations of discipline" (Foucault 191).
