Perspective from the notion of the Panopticon:
The panopticon applies to the rehabilitation program specifically through the post released program in which they have random meetings with the convicts for the next 17 months. These include meetings with their parole officers, sponsors, and drug testing. This sense of fear of failing these post prison meetings leads prisoners to fall into order and not to break the law again. Thus demonstrating how the panopitcon is effective.
