I've always felt that "justice" has taken a strange form in the face of (world) order. For example: have victims of war or their families ever received justice? Will those of the current wars? Will those of the future? I'm pessimistic, but I'm also undereducated.
I discussed this with a friend not too long ago and at their recommendation I have Foucault's Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison sitting on the ebook shelf waiting for me to read it. I guess your question is a sign that I should not procrastinate this and simply spend time reading this.
Michel Foucault suggests that punishment has shifted its focus from the prisoner's body to the soul — and that our very concern with rehabilitation encourages and refines criminal activity.
Huh. I'm fascinated by this sentence. Not sure I understand it
