He no longer views power as a ruling class using its authority to control the lower class. Foucault sees power as a relationship between domination and subordination in social life. Power is seen in a more positive light and not against a person. Power correlates with knowledge, which once wasn't the case. Modern punishment, as Foucault states, is not lenient, however, we now have the knowledge and understanding to systematically have criminal punishments suited to the crime that are not exaggerated or atrocious (Garland, 1990., p.138-141). Discipline is an important aspect of Foucault's modern view on punishment. He sees it as a way to make the offender obedient. Discipline is important because of the supervisory aspect of this factor. Offenders are viewed as individuals and are monitored for even a slight change in behavior where discipline may need to be implemented. Discipline is not intended to be a punishment and this is a change from historical views. Discipline is a corrective measure that uses variations of supervision and training to provide help for offenders to learn to be more controlled (Garland, 1990,
