They wouldn't let these kids have toothpaste the last time they did this.

Subdermal tracking implants then? Although I wouldn't put it past these drooling sadists to start cutting things out of their prisoners.

I can't tell if this is a serious suggestion, or if it's proposed in the same tone as "a modest proposal".

In case you are serious: This is a pretty horrifying proposal. Humans can get microchipped, but these cost money, are very painful to administer, and importantly are RFID only, i.e. not useful for finding ones own children.

Hn, as a forum for discussion, is fundamentally not equipped to rationally discuss America going this far off the rails.
