In 1785 ontwierp de Engelse filosoof Jeremy Bentham de perfecte gevangenis. In zijn hoofd zouden de cellen worden gebouwd rond een centrale toren van waaruit een bewaker elke gevangene op elk moment in de gaten kan houden. Maar andersom kan de gedetineerde de bewaker niet zien en weet hij dus niet wanneer die meekijkt. De gevangenen moeten dus ervan uitgaan dat ze continu worden geobserveerd en zich daarnaar gedragen. Welkom in het Panopticon.

In 1785 English philosopher Jeremy Bentham designed the perfect prison: Cells circle a tower from which an unseen guard can observe any inmate at will. As far as a prisoner knows, at any given time, the guard may be watching — or may not be. Inmates have to assume they're constantly observed and behave accordingly. Welcome to the Panopticon. Many of us will recognize this feeling of relentless surveillance.
