Right of Death and Power over Life of Michel Foucault, and The Night Of--"
Naz tried escaping justice and he became more controlling as this was the only way he could exert influence over others overt. While Naz awaited trial, he understood who wielded power in Rikers Island as people could ‘offer’ protection and influenced what went on. Naz did not need to use force to get what he wanted as gradually gained a fierce reputation that he would retaliate if someone crossed him. However, just like government institutions seek to control people so too does Naz to gain power. Through exploring Naz's transformation from a student to a criminal, the Night Of demonstrates that power grows with influence, as a result of holding the power over death.
The role of the criminal justice system in the modern society represents how a government exercises power through institutions. The power over death and life alongside the technologies of power are deductive and repressive (Foucault 42). Even while in prison, those who do not follow the unwritten rules suffer the consequences, and Naz could rely on enforcers to exert control. It is expected that those who go against the rules would be punished through the criminal justice system, and Naz had been singled out as the main suspect in the murder of Andrea. Both the criminal law officers and Naz wanted to control the environment.
For the state power operates on the body, that it be repressive and disciplinary, where biopolitical techniques then seek to regulate life. The right over death is different from the right of death that depends on the sovereign power. Control and influence over bodies. Biopolitics can be applied manipulation since the Foucault highlighted that power is a controlling tool, this can occur at the individual or the population level.
