Title
Plan du Rez-de-chaussée
prison départementale
Description
Lithographic plan by Sauvé after drawing by A. Blouet from Instruction et programme pour la construction des maisons d'arrêt et de justice : atlas de plans de prisons cellulaires. In the introduction to this report, Duchâtel explains that hte plans for prison buldings in the volume are to be presentd to the préfet. The architectural plan here is for a prison building which has many characteristics that are similar to Bentham's panopticon, that Foucault famously commented upon in his work Discipline and punish : the birth of the prison. The cell both spares and deprives the prisoner of the others' presence, in a very paradoxical "liberté morale". On the other hand, the prisons should be built according to principles of "surveillance": the prisoner needs to be seen at every moment of the day. The circular shape is ideal for this purpose.
