I upload various mods to ModDB, so that they may gain some attention. If anyone needs any help with their profile pages send me a PM. My best addon/mod is Dark Doom Creatures, as well as Shut Up and Bleed: Zombie Edition. I'm the author of three books. The Way of the Sith, The Way of the Sith Part 2: World Mastery, and The Way of the Sith Part 3: Doctrine of Action and Hierarchy. I'm currently working on The Imperial Sith book series. Official website of the book The Way of the Sith, for free excerpt of the book: visit the website TheSithCode or get the book on Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Xlibris, Fishpond, Booktopia or Kobo.

Description

Mark Halsey. 2007. 'On Confinement. Inmate and resident perspectives of Secure Care and Imprisonment.'

...the function of the prison is (now) to render
bodies docile and malleable so as to transform their ‘souls’ (Foucault, 1977; Ignatieff, 1978),
or to act as a weapon in continuing class conflict (Rusche and Kirchheimer, 1968),
or to produce goods at well below ‘normal’ market conditions
(Melossi and Pavarini, 1981),
or to reproduce and instill the classical conception of self-responsibility within persons whose capacity to assume such responsibility has been repeatedly wrested from them both within and beyond custodial walls (Beccaria, 1963 [1764]).
