One intelligence officer remarked that while they cannot use the information they have in a court of law, they 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 research. Our technicians have promised that they can do three 2020 neural chip implants in less than an hour. Soledad officials hope to collect informa- tion from the trio to bring a 14-month investigation into drug trafficking by cor- rectional officers to a close. Essentially the implants make the unsus- pecting prisoner a walking, talking recorder of every event he comes into contact with. There are only five intelligence officers at the Commissioner of Corrections who actu- ally know the full scope of the implant test- ing. In Massachusetts, the Department of Correction has already entered into high- level discussions about releasing certain offenders to the community with the 2020 neural chip implants...
