The argumentation base of this paper consists mainly of data analysis and interpretation.

I try to provide interpretation of data in accordance to the dispositive of penal legitimacy. As main methodological tool is utilized critical discourse analysis. In accordance to critical discourse analysis, I was mainly concerned with the level of discourse production. More specifically, I was concerned with analysis, of how is created the discourse of penality in relation to state apparatuses.
