From the Paper:

"Due to the fact that Michael Foucault claimed that when power is transmitted through someone's word, the criminal justice system could take that idea and control prisoners better. From there, it is apparent that in recent years, the criminologist have reconstruct criminology's framework around Foucault theory since prison have installed video cameras so that prison authorities can have better empowerment. Within that prison society, the statements that are made by the prison authorities are true because they are the power among the prisoners, which gives them more control."
