High-Tech Prison to Open in Netherlands

A high-tech prison opening this week where inmates wear electronic wristbands that track their every movement and guards monitor cells using emotion-recognition software.

Authorities are convinced the jail in Lelystad — quickly dubbed "the Big Brother Prison" by the local press — represents the future of correctional facilities: cheap and efficient, without coddling criminals or violating their fundamental rights.
