## Resource

Oxford University researchers and philosophers, led by Dr. Rebecca Roache, proposed a theoretical concept suggesting that futuristic drugs could be developed to distort a prisoner's mind, making them perceive a multi-hour sentence as lasting 1,000 years. Is this an appropriate punishment for the most horrendous criminals, or is this unethical? On this episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis contemplates WHEN A THOUSAND YEARS EXPIRE. The original broadcast was on March 19, 2014.
