Preferred term

panopticon  

Definition

  • Jeremy Bentham's design for a prison that maximized the surveillance of the inmates and minimized the number of warders. The circular building had a central column from which the guard could see into each cell without the prisoner knowing whether or not they were being observed. [Source: The Sage Dictionary of Health and Society; Panopticon]
