* Analyze the penal leniency as a technique of power. Four rules: (1) view punishment as a complex social function. (2) analyze punitive methods as techniques for power. (3) unify the penal system and the knowledge of man. (4) whether this transformation is the way of how one's body is treated by power relations. - a common history of power relations and object relations. | * Analyze the penal leniency as a technique of power.

* The condemned man's body codes the lack of power, just as the king's body codes the power. | |||
* The power exercised on the condemned man is the present correlative of a certain technology of power over the body. It is born out of methods of punishment, supervision and constraint. | |||

{{Quote|text=We should admit rather that power produces knowledge (and not simply by encouraging it because it serves power or by applying it because it is useful); that power and knowledge directly imply one another; that there is no power relation without the correlative constitution of a field of knowledge, nor any knowledge that does not presuppose and constitute at the same time power relations.|sign=Foucault|source=The body of the condemned}} | {{Quote|text=We should admit rather that power produces knowledge (and not simply by encouraging it because it serves power or by applying it because it is useful); that power and knowledge directly imply one another; that there is no power relation without the correlative constitution of a field of knowledge, nor any knowledge that does not presuppose and constitute at the same time power relations.|sign=Foucault|source=The body of the condemned}} | ||
{{Quote|text=What was at issue was not whether the prison environment was too harsh or too aseptic, too primitive or too efficient, but its very materiality as an instrument and vector of power; it is this whole technology of power over the body that the technology of the ‘soul’ – that of the educationalists, psychologists and psychiatrists – fails either to conceal or to compensate, for the simple reason that it is one of its tools.|sign=Foucault|source=The body of the condemned}} | |||
