PANEL is based on a transcript of a discussion on prisons and asylums at the historic “Schizo Culture” conference, organized by Sylvère Lotringer and Semiotext(e) at Columbia University in 1975. The original panel featured philosopher Michel Foucault, radical psychiatrist R. D. Laing, Insane Liberation Front activist Howie Harp, and revolutionary prisoners’ advocate Judith Clark. The obscure, potent transcript, clearly an artifact of the 1970s, is eerily relevant to the torture “debates” of the present moment.
