You're right of course, but we have to be careful about unintended(?) side effects. It's a very short road from prisoner development to the state having an unhealthy economic incentive to lock people up.

I do believe we call that a "draft". http://www.insightcrime.org/news-analysis/are-mexico-drug-gangs-drafting-hackers http://www.insightcrime.org/news-analysis/are-mexico-drug-ga... http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2013/09/18/rsa-russian-speaking-hackers-drafting-new-recruits/ http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2013/09/18/rsa-russian-speaking-...

(And if the software isn't sufficiently modular, what kind of unwanted surveillance comes "for free" – or "batteries includes"?) A dialogue: A: "What did you do in prison?" B: "Started a hacker school that wrote the surveillance program which monitors this very traffic intersection." A: "What were you in for?" B: "Drunk driving; caused an accident." A: "Does it see my concealed metals?" B: "If you move fast enough. We had to make first launch!" Will this tease out public opinion on "rehabilitation"? Or will it show how we really feel about "bootstrapping"?
