Prisoners 'could serve 1,000 year sentence in eight hours

[riaduzzaman]

Future biotechnology could be used to trick a prisoner's mind into thinking they have served a 1,000 year sentence, a group of scientists have claimed.
Philosopher Rebecca Roache is in charge of a team of scholars focused upon the ways futuristic technologies might transform punishment. Dr Roache claims the prison sentence of serious criminals could be made worse by extending their lives.
Speaking to Aeon magazine, Dr Roache said drugs could be developed to distort prisoners' minds into thinking time was passing more slowly.
"There are a number of psychoactive drugs that distort people’s sense of time, so you could imagine developing a pill or a liquid that made someone feel like they were serving a 1,000-year sentence," she said.(The Daily Telegraph)

Is it going to bring any good to us?

Philosopher Rebecca Roache has no idea about Bengali criminals! Dr Roache claims the prison sentence of serious criminals could be made worse by extending their lives. And with due respect I can claim if she gets the opportunity to deal with our serious criminals her life would be worst ..... no matter how develop her ideas & technologies is! Still we appreciate ideas, suggestions & moreover research activities on it.

May Allah help our country people including the criminals by changing their attitudes & habits. Ameen.
