## Resource

Tech giants and prison officials are teaming up to reimagine justice — with jaw-dropping ideas like microchip implants for real-time offender tracking, AI-driven risk prediction, and even driverless prison vans. The meeting, attended by Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, sparked alarm from civil liberties groups calling it dystopian, while the Ministry of Justice insists it’s about smarter, faster justice. With thousands released early under current policies, the push for tech-driven reform is gaining steam — and the government is already planning a bigger tech summit.
