Penology

Foucaults Discipline and Punish Illegalities and Delinquency narrates of the ancient regime on the inception of crime and punishment which led to the concept of penology (imprisonment). As a matter of fact, different eras lead to emergence of prison confinement in an effort to decrease criminal rates. However, at the turn of eighteenth and nineteenth century the definition of crime and the rules for punishment crime was classified on the basis of socio-economic class encompassing economic, social, and political aspects and resulted to conflicts due to divergence of opinions. In comparison to Foucaults point of view Angela Davis is of the same opinion with the characterization of the development as a whole peasant illegality a structural framework to prompt discrimination (p.274). Crime, according to Angela Davis and also seconded by Foucault, has been made a function of criminalizing poverty and the uneducated population- this precedence is also witnessed in the contemporary society on how we view delinquent (Davis 38). There is a higher possibility of using this structured phenomenon of delinquent as an agent to prompt colonization, discrimination, and civil rights violation with the dominant group as the villain (p. 279).

In reference to the case of Angela, a victim of political prisoner, delinquent as a structured identity, has been long exposed to manipulation, undergoing intensive surveillance, and used by the dominant upper social class attached to materialistic wealth. The proliferation of political prisoners justified using the constructed delinquency led to the establishment of the black civil rights movement after the criminalization of the struggle for liberty in the effort of the bourgeois to sway public opinion and have their way to control governance (Camp 95). The intended purpose of establishment of criminal rules and prisons was never achieved and it is for the reason Angela started a movement going up against the status quo which prompted to her imprisonment as a delinquent even without violating the law. It is full confirmation that establishment of prisons will always remain as a technical project.
