Arrested Development: Rehabilitation or Recreation

So a few months ago I started watching the television series Arrested Development. The pilot starts off with a family of dysfunctional characters. They are all pretty clean-cut and "good" compared to families you would see in TV programs of our generation. Arrested Development is by no means a dramatic series like 24 or Lost. The whole series is based around how the father, George Bluth, stole money from his own company. In the very first episode they take him off his yacht and put him in jail. The entire first season he is in prison. 

Now this is where I thought Focault kind of steps into the picture. There are no scenes of punishment or rehabilitation to what I could notice. Prison was actually depicted as a fun place. Focault would have not known how to even analyze a prison like the one Bluth was staying in. There was only one part that actually showed so sort of reprogramming and discipline of the prisoners and that was when Bluth leaned over to hug his son the guards would scream at him "no touching!!!"  Obviously there had to be some sort of consequences for this to be drilled into the prisoners head and scare them so much. you never find out the actual punishment. Its strange that they punish for compassion and they are trying to rehabilitate and reinstill compassion. I feel as though it was a critique on how prisons are kind of pointless as places of rehabilitation. Finally at the end of the the pilot George Bluth says hes having the time of his life and doesn't want to leave. This totally turns over all of Focault's theories.
