Prisoners 'could serve 1,000 year sentence in eight hours'
Future biotechnology could be used to make prisoners feel as if they were serving a 1,000 year sentence, a team of scientists claim...


 :???: Um... What would be the point? Would they get to learn stuff during those 8 hours spent in a locked room? Would they find attonement for their crimes?

No doubt it will happen just as Philip K.Dick wrote about.

Cheney ............ sweet dreams are made of these, who am I to disagree.

Fairly sure the DUmpmonkie is referencing "Do Androids Dream of Electic Sheep", but I could be wrong.

3. Geez. Instead of manipulating their minds for time, why don't

they search for a way to change their brains to create better understanding of why committing a crime will hurt them? I'd rather see greed, hate, jealousy "cut" out of their brains with drugs. I know it wouldn't be easy, but eradicating poverty might be a step in the right direction, too.


Yeah... the leftists are not going to like that much. Unless they can reprogram all the conservitives away from their 'wrong' thinking.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

The one thing that I do agree with the Muslims is their version of punishment. Steal get your hand cutoff. No long term cost. No crook expensive crime universities are eliminate. The nobleness of trading criminals well is highly overrated and very expensive.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
