The Original "Tower Model"
"The essence of it consists, then, in the centrality of the inspector's situation, combined with the wellknown and most effectual contrivances for seeing without being seen...a spot from which, without any change of situation, a man may survey, in the same perfection, the whole number.... Confined in one of these cells, every motion of the limbs, and every muscle of the face exposed to view...indulged with perfect liberty within the space allotted to him, in what worse way could he vent his rage, than by beating his head against the walls?"
- Jeremy Bentham, Panopticon
