  The punishment of prison as the most obvious form of deprivation of freedom has always been discussed and disputed.Despite the positive functions of the prison, such as the ability to reform and subjugate criminals, throughout history, and due to the consequences it has left in the society, it has sometimes been criticized and disagreed with.Especially in modern society and the emergence of theorists in favor of reducing punishments such as imprisonment, the processing of this issue has gained strength. In this article, the differences of prison sociology from the perspective of Emile Durkheim and Michel Foucault were analyzed What is clear is the agreement of the two theorists regarding the positive functions of the prison in order to reduce crimes and prevent crime in the society, and the same is the reason for the continuation of the prison, but what is the point of disagreement is the acceptance of administrativeization and rationality in the punishment process. It is possible that Durkheim has addressed the issue more fully in this aspect and has accepted this issue. Although it emphasizes the emotional aspect of punishment more. But if we pay attention to Foucault's theory, which is a rational attitude, we will not see anything from emotional and moral aspects in it. In his description, Foucault focuses on closed institutions, especially prisons.He explains how correctional techniques and crime techniques. They consciously affect the penal systems. Foucault's statement is a description of the introduction of technology and the administrative process of the criminal realm. In his description of the prison, he ignores its social meaning, which can be understood through public opinion, and sees it as a technical institution. Manuscript profile
