2020 NEURAL CHIP IMPLANT
The control of crime will be a paramount concern in the
21st Century. We must be ready with our security products
when the demand for them becomes popular. Our Research and
Development Division has been in contact with the Federal
Bureau of Prisons, the California Department of Corrections,
the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Massachusetts
Department of Correction to run limited trials of the 2020
neural chip implant. We have established representatives
of our interests in both management and institutional level
positions within these departments.
Federal regulations do not yet permit testing of implants
on prisoners, but we have entered into contractual agreements
with privatized health care professionals and specified
correctional personnel to do limited testing of our products.
We have also had major successes in privately owned sanitariums
with implant technology. We need, however, to expand our
testing to research how effective the 2020 neural chip implant
performs in those identified as the most aggressive in our
society. Limited testing has produced a number of results.
In California, several prisoners were identified as members
of the security threat group, EME, or Mexican Mafia. They
were brought to the health services unit at Pelican Bay
and tranquilized with advanced sedatives developed by our
Cambridge, Massachussetts laboratories. The implant prodecure
takes 60-90 minutes depending upon the experience of the
technician. We are working on a device which will reduce
that time by as much as 60%. The results of implants on
8 prisoners yielded the following results:
-
Implants served as surveillance monitoring device for
threat group activity.
-
Implants disabled two subjects during an assault on
correctional staff.
-
Universal side effects in all 8 test subjects revealed
that when implant was set to 116 MHz all subjects became
lethargic and slept an average of 18-22 hours per day.
-
All subjects refused recreation periods for 14 days
during the 116 MHz test evaluation, 7 of the 8 subjects
did not exercise, in the cell or out of the cell and
5 of the 8 subjects refused showers up to three days
at a time.
-
Each subject was monitored for aggressive activitiy
during the test period and the finding are conclusive
that 7 out of the 8 test subjects exhibited no agression,
even when provoked.
-
Each subject experienced only minor bleeding from the
nose and ears 48 hours after the implant due to initial
adjustment.
-
Each subject had no knowledge of the implant for the
test period and each implant was retrieved under the
guise of medical treatment.
It should be noted that the test period was for less than
two months. However, during that period substantial data
was gathered by our research and development team which
suggests that the implants exceed expected results. One
of the major concerns of Security and the R & D team was
that the test subject would discover the chemical imbalance
during the initial adjustment period and the test would
have to be scurbbed. However, due to advanced technological
developments in the sedatives administered, the 48 hour
adjustment period can be attributed to prescription medication
given to the test subjects after the implant procedure.
One of the concerns raised by R & D was the cause of the
bleeding and how to eliminate that problem. Unexplained
bleeding might cause the subject to inquire further about
his "routine" visit to the infirmary or health care facility.
The security windfall from the brief test period was enormous.
Security officials now know several strategies employed
by the EME that facilitate the transmission of illegal drugs
and weapons into their ocrrectional facilities. One intelligence
officer remarked that while they cannot use the information
that have in a court of law that they now know who to watch
and what outside "connections" they have. The prison at
Soledad is now considering transferring three subjects to
Vacaville where we have ongoing implant reserach. Our technicians
have promised that they can do three 2020 neural chip implants
in less than an hour. Soledad officials hope to collect
information from the trio to bring a 14 month investigation
into drug trafficking by correctional officers to a close.
Essentially, the implants make the unsuspecting prisoner
a walking-talking recorder of every event he comes into
contact with. There are only five intelligence officers
and the Commisoner of Corrections who actually know the
full scope of the implant testing.
In Massachusetts, the Department of Corrections has already
entered into high level discussion about releasing certain
offenders to the community with the 2020 neural chip implants.
Our people are not altogether against the idea, however,
attorneys for Intelli-Connection have advised against implant
technology outside strick control settings. Under the present
governmental structure our liability would be enormous.
While we have a strong lobby in the Congress and various
state legislatures favoring our product, we must proceed
with the utmost caution on uncontrolled use of the 2020
neural chip. If the chip were discovered in use not authorized
by law and the procedure traced to us we could not endure
for long the resulting publicity and liability payments.
Massachusetts officials have developed an intelligence branch
from their Fugitive Task Force Squad that would do limited
test runs under tight controls with the pre-release subjects.
Corrections officials have dubbed these potential test subjects
"the insurance group." (The name derives from the concept
that the 2020 implant insures compliance with the law and
allows officials to detect misconduct or violations without
question) A retired police detective from Charlestown, Massachusetts,
now with the intelligence unit has asked us to consider
using the 2020 neural chip on hard core felons suspected
of bank and armored car robbery. He stated, "Charlestown
would never be the same, we'd finally know what was happening
before they knew what was happening."
We will continue to explore community uses of the 2020 chip,
but our company rep will be attached to all law enforcement
operations with an extraction crew that can be on-site in
2 hours from anywhere at anytime.
We have an Intelli-Connection discussion group who is meeting
with the Director of Security at Florence, Colorado's federal
super maximum security unit. The initial discussions with
the Director have been promising and we hope to have an
R & D unit at this important facilitly within the next six
months. (ADX Florence, CO has replaced Marion, Illinois
as the federal prison system's ultra maximum security unit)
Legislative and executive branch efforts continue to legalize
the implant technology. (See Intelli-Connection Internal
