Summary: The article analyzes the evolution of punishment throughout history, going from primacy in the use of corporal punishment to the massive use of prison sentence –which continues to be the primary criminal sanction of penalty systems in the penal systems of the world–. However, the prison itself was transformed according to the needs that it had to fulfill as a detention center, becoming the most apparent paradigm of a control society. From there, the penitentiary institution branched out into two different pathways, which truly converge in themselves, since the current criminal Law is a slave to order and control, which ended up establishing the innocuousness of individuals, both in penal establishments, as well as in society itself.
