The most commemorated consideration of punishment's failure is to be discovered in the work of Michael Foucault, who contended that penological failure has been a continual and really a 'functional' attribute of the up to date jail scheme since its inception. Lawrence Stone's outlook was distributed by numerous, that 20th 100 years jails endure easily because they have taken on a quasi unaligned life of their own, which endows them to endure the swamping clues of their communal dysfunction. This expands with somewhat less force to probation, penalties, and community corrections. (Miethe & Lu 2005)
