1. To subject the prisoners to a constant state of feeling like that are constantly being watched, forcing them to act appropriately at ALL times following prison rules.

my comments so far.....
Who would have thought it, Marks and Spenser being the topic of discussion for its undeniably effective and original advertising techniques! Once thought of as a stuffy middle class, and lets face it, pretty boring company, MARKS AND SPENCER has now seemingly once again flourished into being recognised as a quality focused, well respected, British institution.
Although marks and Spencer seem to have risen from the ashes triumphant and proud this was not always the case. Many people viewed the company, as being a little to dated and stuffy, suggesting that marks had been reluctant to move into the naughties. However, Marks’s has always maintained throughout its long history it emphasis on quality which i feel even though this could have sparked the "stuffy" contorted remarks, it has faired the company well making it seem more trustworthy and it gives the customer reassurance that have spent that tiny bit extra the product they are getting is going to be better value for money.
