Subject: Punishment


I only recently began reading Foucault and I while  I am imediately taken by 
his gripping imagery and his striking  comparisons I am having difficulty  
sifting out exactly  what is HIS own opinion as distinct from  the historical 
analysis of that which  he is describing.  If anyone could help  point  me to 
passages in "Discipline and Punish"  which would indicate Foucault's own and 
original  thought about "punishment".. its justification and its origins I 
would be very thankful.
