The smart ones watch everyone around them get caught for infractions. Taking note. Quietly gathering data. Towing the line, purposely being caught for the occasional minor infraction so as not to appear too good to be true. Until one day, they disappear from prison in the middle of a storm and take the entire foreman&amp;#x27;s investment portfolio with them.&lt;p&gt;Oh wait, I think there was a movie about this...</text><parent_chain><item><author>rahuldottech</author><text>THIS IS NOT OKAY.&lt;p&gt;We can&amp;#x27;t have children being used to constant surveillance and accepting this as a part of life.

Constant surveillance and constant crises are probably key drivers here.&lt;p&gt;Some say it benefits security, but I think the calculation is flawed. You will never get engaged citizens in a open-air prison. People implementing these policies should be deeply ashamed of themselves.</text><parent_chain><item><author>rahuldottech</author><text>THIS IS NOT OKAY.&lt;p&gt;We can&amp;#x27;t have children being used to constant surveillance and accepting this as a part of life.
