how long until prisons just start diagnosing inmates with depression to wirehead them
in the context of this https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/11/health/nursing-homes-schizophrenia-antipsychotics.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/11/health/nursing-homes-schi... it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility
what comes after that?
- hellbannedguy 5y agoI don't think our (U.S.A.) penal system cares enough to even bother with the procedure if it ever gains FDA approval. I have been told the Psychiatric Care at most prisons is atrocious. The prison in my county has had a running want ad for a Psychiatrist since the 80's. I'm referencing San Quentin. I once heard a perp confess to a crime that would send him to prison for life with one caveat, and it was, "I just want to be sent to a prision anywhere that has a good Psychiatric Unit."
- BarryMilo 5y agoIs this supposed to be an argument against the development of technology? Any technology can be used for ill or good, we just have to hold people accountable. Not sure what you would expect the device to do expect help people with depression. The US prison system is a horrible blight, but this really has nothing to do with it.
- bserge 5y agoLol, why wouldn't they do it now and give them pacifying medication?
