The article's last paragraph makes me wonder if he read the whole thing.

That's a fair question. Is it really less cruel to free someone to live out their life who feels as though they've done 1,000 years of time? Incarcerating someone until they are old is cruel, for sure. I'm not convinced this would be better.

A big point of prison terms that's not often mentioned is biological: older people are less aggressive and have better self-control--or at least have less energy to commit crimes. You could probably simulate that with hormone blockers.

If someone comes out of a 1000 year prison term in a body that hasn't aged, it might have no effect on recidivism at all!
