Reading in the Panopticon- Your Kindle May Be Spying om You, But Cant Be Sure

Abstract

The building circular-A cage, glazed-a glass lantern about the Size of Ranelagh-The prisoners in their cells, occupying the circumference-The officers in the centre. By blinds and other contrivances, the inspectors concealed from the observation of the prisoners- hence the sentiment of a sort of omnipresence-The whole circuit reviewable with little, or if necessary, without any, change of place. One station in the inspection part affording the most perfect view of every cell.
