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.
She 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."

doing humanitarian work.]
