This essay problematizes the transformations of punishment in societies of control. To do so, it reconstructs the hypothesis, current in contemporary literature, that we are living in a prison era. The problem is that this hypothesis takes the disciplinary prison as the model for controls, imagining the economy of penality as a historical invariant. As a result, it describes contemporary social formations as “portable prisons”, “prison capitalism”, “open-air prison societies”. In order to correct what we believe to be a misunderstanding, we propose a re-reading of the main contributions of the debate on societies of control in order to reposition both the meaning of penality in these emerging social formations and to take up the abolitionist debate, in a historically situated way, on the obsolescence of prisons.
