What is Foucault on Bentham about?

Bentham proposed the Panopticon prison model with a central observation tower allowing all cells to be observed without inmates knowing if they are being watched. Foucault criticized this as bringing about a society of constant surveillance. Bentham saw the Panopticon as a humane alternative to cruel punishments of the time and later expanded the concept beyond prisons to schools and government administration, focusing on education and transparency over punishment.
