On topic: this would breach people's human rights and is morally wrong. Why do we want to keep criminals alive for a later date? They aren't serving a punishment, their mental state will be the same. This is no different to execution, but worse.
What is really awful is that everyone you knew would continue aging. So, all of your family and friends will have moved on with life.

But it comes with its own set of issues too.
For example, if you were to lock a defined area in a bubble that time does not effect, would that mean that area would be irrelevant to the greater whole of space-time, and cease to actually exist as long as it is trapped at that single moment?
Bernard's Watch was bae.
I think what's more reasonable than stopping time is to slow it down. This is entirely possible: you simply travel really fast. What if the atoms in our body could resonate at 99.99% the speed of light?

Ikr...
^^ It wouldn't really even be a punishment imo. It'd be like falling asleep: you don't remember it so it passes as if it took a second. When you wake up, you get to see the future and it's like you never even served time.

Never really thought of that.. That'd suck.
On the other hand, you could start life afresh without burdens.

About deterioration, I think the best we'd be able to achieve would be like a fridge, the person in there still deteriorates but at a much slower rate.
Also if he's unconscious throughout the sentence then it isn't much of a punishment, unless his participation is part of an experiment where he could die and he receives the death sentence, I guess it's a win-win situation.

Experimenting on prisoners? I believe that would violate one or two human rights. just one or two...
RE: Cryo Prisons - Rye123 - 07-16-2015
Yeah but by the time we achieve cryosomething we probably would have had already broken a few. How would you know the cryo thing is safe without a human going through it? Wouldn't that be considered as experimentation?
Also knowing the government they'd probably use a guy hated so much that everyone would want to see him cryo'ed.

If they were to experiment with a human they would most likely use an animal first. And I can probably guarantee you some of those "missing" people were used for some government experiments.

Human rights get violated all of the time.

Yeah, even big countries like murrica violate human rights constantly. That doesn't make it alright though.
RE: Cryo Prisons - lux - 07-17-2015
Hundreds of thousands of hours would go into animal testing before human trials are even CONSIDERED. People would volunteer to be trialed on, it'd bring fame, and a huge paycheck (if you make it out the other side).

True but there is nothing that can be done to stop human rights being violated unless everybody stands up to the government.
But murderers in Prison I could care less if they were experimented on they ruined lives so they don't deserve rights.
Now people in prison for other offenses like drugs, robbery, etc they should be given a chance to change there life around.

Hipocrisy.
By stripping their rights, you're in essence doing exactly what they did, you are no better than them, you are equal to them.
