According to the Prison Policy Institute<\/a>, the US has a higher incarceration rate per 100,000 people in its population than any other NATO country and it\u2019s even higher than the next five member states combined (the UK, Portugal, Canada, France and Belgium).<\/p>\n So what\u2019s the solution? Hashem Al-Ghaili, a molecular biologist and science communicator from Yemen, claims he\u2019s got it in an interview with Wired<\/em><\/a>: build a virtual prison instead. He\u2019s not talking about stapling a bunch of Meta Quest 3\u2019s to prisoners’ heads for years at a time, but it\u2019s also not far off from that concept.<\/p>\n Al-Ghaili is proposing a new neurological prison system that he calls Cognify. He posted a proposal video of the virtual justice system on his Instagram<\/a> and YouTube channel<\/a> and it looks downright horrifying.<\/p>\n
