And *you* think that you are going to stop the black market trade and
the self abusive behaviors that goes on inside of prisons by 'dealing
with it'? I'm afraid you're in never never land. It's not going to
happen.

That's like saying that we should let people who have committed
heinous crimes go because they were mistreated as a child or they
could be treated with therapy rather than face the consequences of
their actions.

It's a bunch of bull, we all know that. We can't solve all of their
problems. Sure, some of them can be helped and I'm not saying that
the ones that can and want to be helped shouldn't be. But they are in
the minority. Most of them don't want to be helped.

Using technology like this for better security in our prisons isn't a
bad idea.
