Foucault and Prison

I think that Foucault feels there is a reluctance to be rid of prison systems, because of the consequences that may take place if it was done. Crime rates do not stop because somebody gets locked up; they are increased because that’s the violence our society leads. When an inmate is locked up without education, they can still be violent within those cells. Not being able to see family for a prisoner is like torture. Like Foucault explains, “prison indirectly produces neglectful by throwing the inmate’s family into absence, and the children to abandonment”. Prison can never be under observation to maybe get rid of it because of its risks, and the safety of a person. Neglect can be done at a prison, but at the same time that’s the states punishment for a prisoner. I believe all prison should have some type of education, so the prisoners will not feel neglected.
