Number 31 (On Hold)

Cover art is not my own, please let me know if I need to take it down. ____________ Revenge, the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell - Walter Scott He lost everything- his family to murder that he was blamed for. His job because went to jail. Those he thought were friends turned their back on him and didn't even try to stick up for him and defend him. all he's left with now is a consuming desire to take revenge on those that killed his family and wronged him and what better way to do it than use the system that took everything away from him in the first place? _______________________ What if there was a system that could access prisoner's minds and determine based upon a virtual simulation and their actions if they could be rehabilitated to live a life outside of prison or if they were better off locked away forever? By 2025 a mass influx in incarceration due a rise in crimes has lead the Department of Justice to determine the prison system needs to be reformed in order to decrease prison overpopulation rates. An experimental device, referred to as 'The Prosecutor' is brought in for this purpose. Similar to a VR device, this device is placed on the head of the participant and over their eyes. Once activated, they enter a virtual world similar to the real world with the belief they have been given freedom. The device is setup to not interfere with participants actions and decisions directly but rather behaves like a conscience in order to dissuade them from committing crimes. Out of the thirty experimental participants used, none have been determined to be fit to return to society. Number 31 as they were called was considered to be a lost cause because of the crimes they committed was brought up to be tested. The goal to make sure the system wasn't faulty if criminals who's crimes had been petty were found to be unfit, what would the result for such a high profile criminal? The Prosecutor has never encountered such a strong desire for revenge before.
