DELINQUENCY.

The article delves into Michel Foucault's analysis of the carceral system and the prison's role in handling delinquency. Foucault challenges the notion of prison failure, unraveling a complex system involving disciplinary elements, production of knowledge and the reinforcement of criminality. He emphasizes how penality doesn't aim to eliminate offenses but to differentiate and utilize them, forming part of mechanisms of domination within society.
