Profit driven prison system? Are you an idiot? Tax payers pay for prisons in the US and they are anything but profitable... jesus you are a nutjob.

(there are a TINY handful of private prisons, they are inconsequential compared to the rest of the publicly funded prison system)

Yah, Scott. One wonders how you've remained at large. I guess there's an up-side to never leaving your mom's basement.

The downside to this is if they do have a prison break, less manpower available for containment.

The upside to not having guards around is that is you can handle a prison break the same way you handle emergency containment in an infectious disease lab... incineration using thermobarics

Perhaps it is because we socialists are free.


Quote of the year, right there. Holy Cow.

Scott, you moron, kindly explain how having somebody else make all your important decisions for you equates with freedom?

Mmmm, on second thought, just... just don't.

@Deathclock: a thousand times yes.

Well if they know the robot will explode, and they can't bartar with robots like terrorists the prisoners will stay put. LOL

I, Robot.

This is stupid, why not put cameras in each cell with a central computer. looks slow and cumbersome, Id rip the dam head right off!

@deathclock, the American prison system is paid for by American tax payers but the majority of the prison system is run by private corporations, funded by those tax dollars. It is very much a profit driven enterprise.

That robot is nowhere near intimidating enough - they need a Terminator-style unit with battle-armor alloy and onboard tasers that can activate if the robot is so much as touched by an inmate.

Ahh very true haha! Hopefully means its less likely they'll have hostages from downed guards too.
