Of how the constituted
power is owner of the bodies and the souls of the citizens, because there where is the vital necessity to hold and to
control the individual conduct arises the lesson like display cabinet and example of which it happens to the transgesor of the laws and the social customs to him imposed by the
sovereign in accordance with a divine
right of which executor considers itself. Foucault is able in one first stage to unravel those relations with arguments that he extracts of the official registries of medioevo European but which they project to all the nations through the effectiveness of his repressive profits and demonstrates that also the societies and the knowledge evolve with that these acquire in the penal processes. In one second phase, the author approaches us the most sophisticated categories of penitentiary science, to the architectonic creation of panópticos where the sovereign imposes in a coercive space the use of the being and his time, of the sprouting of the delinquent to whom one is due to correct and to reform under an ample phantom of pains in jails, panópticos and prisons; because the loss of the freedom is absolute and fundamental consequence of the
crime. Universal and criminalizeable society in which more than to reduce the crime which is procured with the prison it is to reproduce a delinquency that justifies any refined means to fight it without another aim that the control to falsify itself in a violence whose fisica and psychological dimension is difficult to imagine. Finally, it is with the police chronicle when the illegality acquires the character of expansive enemy to watch, he returns legitimate and natural the right to punish the crime that transforms its face to the taste of the more urgent necessities of adoption of that power omnivodo.
