Dutch open super-modern 'big brother' prison
The Dutch state is opening a high-tech prison this week where inmates wear electronic wristbands that track their every movement, and guards use emotion recognition software to monitor cells for signs of trouble.
It may sound like science fiction, but authorities are convinced the jail quickly dubbed “the Big Brother Prison” by the local press is the future of correctional facilities: cheap and efficient, while not coddling criminals or violating their fundamental rights.
