Augmented Reality Prison

Imagine somebody has committed murder or genocide, or somehow maliciously and purposely caused death. Attach an immovable augmented reality headset and have the corpses of the deceased following the offender around forevermore - or at least until their sentence is complete.

Every waking moment they will have to deal with the consequences of their actions beyond sitting around in a secure environment with most freedoms removed.

Definitely an element of mental and emotional turmoil likely to be created - probably nothing on the scale of the mental and emotional turmoil the families and friends of the deceased would endure. The difference is accountability and the offender doesn't get the peace that time would ultimately provide in the healing process for the family and friends of the victims.

Care would need to be taken that it's not used on certain people with the appropriate level of psychotic or sociopathic tendencies that would get a kick out of it and use the AR representations as a representation of achievement and potentially look to add to their collection.

I suppose it's an extreme version of that thing where the victims and offenders (for things like burglary and assault) meet up to assist the victim's healing process and bring a level of accountability of the crime and humanisation of the victim to the offender; only the ultimate victim is no longer there to get that healing underway, so it's all about accountability and facing the consequences of your actions.
