EDITORS COMMENTS
This sectional view of Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon, published in his 1812 work "Pauper Management Improved," offers a glimpse into the innovative design for a workhouse capable of housing up to 2000 inmates. Originally devised for prison management, the Panopticon was a ring-shaped building with a central control post, designed to ensure constant surveillance and discipline. The architectural masterpiece, conceived by the English philosopher and social reformer, aimed to promote self-discipline and rehabilitation through the psychological effects of being under constant observation. The Panopticon's design was revolutionary for its time, as it challenged traditional methods of punishment and control in institutions for the poor and criminal populations. Bentham's vision for a more humane and effective system of social welfare gained significant attention and influenced the development of modern penitentiary systems and institutional architecture. This image, a sectional view of the Panopticon workhouse, provides a unique perspective on Bentham's groundbreaking design and its enduring impact on the history of social reform and institutional management.
