Re: public punishments

Reflections on capital punishment: take a look at "The Blue Room" in Yale
Review (just out or soon to be out); it is a chilling description of the Death
House at Florence prison in Arizona by Joan Dayan; you'll hear echoes of
Foucault in her stunning prose. The essay has been translated into German and
that version should be out by June. She is presently working on a book-length
study of "Chains."
