help with foucault and human nature

as you all know, i've been engaged in discussions about human nature.
this was not my intention, and i don't want to continue without relating
this to foucault. i am new to foucault. i recently began reading
discipline and punish( i'm up to p.231, part four prison), and i want
some insight. could someone out there offer some sage words on foucault
and human nature, particularly relating to social violence and murder.
