Dealing with Crime had always been a problem, since all methods of treating the wrongdoers were either inefficient, costly, or cruel. Proposers of the Cryo-Lab suggested a new approach to incarceration: prisoners would be hibernated in a special facility, nd therefore effectively separated from the society for a minimal cost. The main argument for this program was that hibernated prisoners cound not interact with each other and pick up back habits from their inmates, and that traditional prisons did little to reform them anyway; another one was that the very act of seperating sentenced individuals from their environment would often have positive effect on their behavior, even if they wouldn't feel the flow of time themselves. It was after the program was launched when another layer was added: since hibernated prisoners retained some low-level, dream-like consciousness, they were treated by bionanotechnological machines who sought to slowly alter their brain patterns to make them less inclined to criminal activities in the future. The results of this therapy were debatable, but the Cryo-Lab facilities remained a permanent element of justice systems around the world.
