Implant Could Let Prisoners Serve A Sentence In Minutes

Scientists are creating a technology called Cognify, which is an implant that could allow prisoners to serve years of their sentence in mere minutes. Memories could be implanted in prisoners’ minds to aid with rehabilitating them faster. “Synthetic memories are customized depending on the crime committed and the unique brain structure and psychological profile of the individual,” Biotechnologist Hashem Al-Ghaili said. Memories could cover crimes like domestic violence, hate crime, insider training, theft, and more. “By rehabilitating offenders more quickly, Cognify could enable them to reintegrate into society sooner and contribute to the workforce,” Al-Ghaili said. However, some social media users have compared Cognify to an episode of “Dark Mirror.” (The Sun)
