Put prisoners into a VR world of their own to give them a false sense of freedom is straight out of a YA dystopian novel.
Says a lot about VR headsets that the only eager users are LinkedIn Lunatics and American prisoners.
That’s insanely dystopian Jesus Christ
If they escape to VR world should it still count as time in prison?
It would be interesting if we can create a VR society stimulation game to analyze their behavior before release.
Just very expensive if all of the prisoners need a vr
This happened in Black Mirror right? That’s definitely a good sign.
Sooooo Simple Rick’s wafer cookies?
That’s disturbing…but I can kinda see it i guess? Idk, still very Black Mirror.
Very Black Mirror
Torment-Nexus shit right here
This is like the prisons in the movie Minority Report.
didn’t demolition man kinda do that, and programmed traits like ‚knitting‘ to give them hobbies?
or train them to….MDK!
wow maybe make prisons better???
VR. The previous tech hype before AI.
Man, when I played video games I’d play for a couple hours and then that hit back to real life sucked. Can’t image what these guys feel when they head back to their cell.
Good god, maybe just have a monthly community day where they can spend time in a gym with other people who aren’t imprisoned
It would cost less money and be less stupid

Hope? Can’t have that under a punitive system. Can’t wait until they get banned because people going to prison must suffer. /S

The money those things cost compared to treating people with humanity 😩
Is this hope or escapism?
This sounds like the plot of a 90s sci-fi dystopia movie
How do we know we’re not in one of those things right now?
Black Mirror
This was always the play. The real world will be for the rich and the poor will save up for a VR vacation. This is just a test
I predicted years ago they’d start using these for rehabilitation and my friend said I was an idiot.
Wait wait, I think I saw an evolved version of this in Altered Carbon…
I recall some prisons painting walls pink to calm men! This is better!
