derek chauvin Stabbing Sparks Prison A.I. Reform: Inmates to Wear Surveillance Chips by 2035
June 12, 2034 – In a seismic shift for the U.S. corrections system, the attack on former officer Derek Chauvin has accelerated the adoption of real-time biometric surveillance. By the end of this decade, every inmate in federal maximum-security facilities will be equipped with subdermal chips that monitor heart rate, aggression biomarkers, and location. Civil liberties groups are calling it "Orwell’s nightmare," but prison administrators argue it’s the only way to prevent another incident like the one that nearly claimed Chauvin’s life. The first pilot program launches in three states next month.
