According to Foucault, carceral organizations:

emphasised human relations and employee satisfaction
increased the amount of power held by managers
stripped inmates of their previous identities
isolated people and put them under surveillance
isolated people and put them under surveillance  Foucault argued that we live in a ‘disciplinary society’, based upon the techniques developed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in ‘carceral organizations’ such as prisons. For Foucault, discipline involved control over the body, through the regulation and timetabling of physical activity; surveillance, or continued visibility and openness to scrutiny (making people feel as if they were being watched until they began to monitor themselves); and punishment through imprisonment and the restriction of freedom. 541-542
