The Panopticon

In talking of Charles Dickens's preoccupation with prisons today, I mentioned the Panopticon, Jeremy Bentham's design for a new kind of penitentiary. There's a good link about it here, and you can go from that page to Bentham's writings on the subject, if you're interested. I'll try to add more later.
