I'm not sure how I feel about this. Creepy, definitely. More humane? I don't know. After all, perception is reality.
Part of the reason why we lock up criminals is because they're a threat to society (the violent ones anyway), and it was legally deemed that the criminal's potential positive influence in society is heavily outweighed by their negative influence and therefore must be removed. So they'd leave society for less than a day? I wonder how this would affect not only the individual, but society at large; are punishments supposed to be mostly internal or mostly external?
Thoughts?

The internal and the external are parts of the whole.I'm not sure how I feel about this. Creepy, definitely. More humane? I don't know. After all, perception is reality.

A inmate should serve real time behind bars.Imaginary 1000 year sentence is still imaginary.Saying here well make you spend eight hours for murdering,raping, burglarizing or some other crime is a slap in the face to the victims. Actually its not slap in the face to the victims, its tying the victim down and stomping them in the nuts over and over again.
Do you think having the victim pay taxes to support the incarceration of their attacker is actually serving them? Is that not actually making them once again a victim to this individual that committed a crime against them? I do not support messing with peoples minds to punish them with the use of drugs, but I can't figure out why anyone would support prison either.

Do that to them, but leave them hooked up for their entire sentence, not just 8 hrs.
So, since normal punishments and tortures are not enough for you....
You want to use public "Medical" research dollars to develop designer torture drugs that allow 1000 Year sentence for every day, of a 60 years long life... as punishment?
So you want to give the Government the ability to cause 60Years X 365 Days X 24 Hours X 1000 Years / hour = 525,600,000 time more pain and suffering?
You think that is better than simply executing the person?
Why?

Depends on the crime and execution method.
You actually believe that you have the right, and the wisdom, to justly sentence someone to 525 Million times more pain and suffering?
Have you ever heard of the term, Hubris?
There was a time when the enlightened people in our criminal justice system had reform of the person into a productive citizen in mind...
How did that work out for us? Oh, yeah, prison and jail became a trade school for crime.
The two biggest mistakes in the Constitution are the 5th amendment and 8th. Any person committing a crime incriminates themselves by doing it. It should be unusual to have to punish people and if the punishment does not contain an adequate amount of cruelty, then it is not punishment nor effective as a deterrent.
I support removing those amendments and introducing the use of chemical interrogation by court order to held determine guilt. A criminal should also, if possible, be made to suffer all the negative affects that their victims went through.
Someone like a child molester should have CM tattooed to his forehead and remain in general population until his/her public hanging.
What if the victim was content with the "imaginary" 1000 year sentence?A inmate should serve real time behind bars.Imaginary 1000 year sentence is still imaginary.Saying here well make you spend eight hours for murdering,raping, burglarizing or some other crime is a slap in the face to the victims.

It made me think of 1984.
Thinking you lost time and losing time are totally different. Ever fall asleep on the couch and think you slept through the night and then realized that you have only been out for a couple of hours.
I am not against Capital Punishment, when it is deemed, by a jury of your peers, that reform is unlikely and giving it a chance is at too high of a cost to society.
But it should only be done by JURY of our peers, never by a single Judge sentencing. It should be done as a means of pragmatic pursuit of peace, law and order for the majority of innocent and law abiding citizens. It should NEVER be done as a means of Vindication!
I am totally against Vindictive Government in any way, sort or fashion.
No crime is sufficiently vile to justify Vindictive Government.
I am also against giving any modern Government, any form of increased power over the citizens... we've gone far too long down that path already.
Like I said earlier, I really want aIf experience shows that people given the 1000year/1hour "Treatment", continue to commit crimes, and welcome the same sentence again, then the whole "Treatment" is a fraud and a dodge.
I'm not sure which would be worse, the "Treatment" being a Fraud, or it being real?
Perhaps the best choice is to never develop such evil at all.
