In the not-too-distant future, a shadow loomed over the justice system. Page Industries, a corporation known for its technological innovations, had developed a groundbreaking AI, capable of calculating a "racial profile" – a term they coined to describe the likelihood of a criminal integrating smoothly as an inmate. The implications were staggering. The AI, cold and precise, could predict with eerie accuracy who would be compliant, who would serve time without resistance, and who would fit seamlessly into the prison system.
This technology gave birth to a new era of incarceration. No longer were prisons filled with those who committed the most heinous crimes or posed the greatest danger to society. Instead, they were populated by individuals who, according to the AI's calculations, were least likely to appeal their sentences. The system was chillingly efficient. Once a person matched the AI’s profile, their fate was sealed. The moment they were booked into the penitentiary, their future was predetermined.
But Page Industries had another sinister layer to its operations. The corporation didn't just leave these individuals to rot in their cells. It had a use for them. Upon booking, each inmate was discreetly offered employment within the walls of the prison. The positions were varied – from manufacturing to data entry, all under the iron grip of Page Industries. The inmates, now employees, had no chance of escape, no hope for appeal. They were cogs in a well-oiled machine, contributing to the corporation's bottom line.
The United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition (UNATCO), an organization once revered for its dedication to global security, had become tainted by Page Industries' influence. The entire workforce of UNATCO consisted of felons profiled by the AI. These individuals, handpicked for their compliance and lack of resistance, had zero turnover. They were the perfect soldiers, the ideal employees, molded by a system that saw them not as human beings, but as assets.
The public remained largely unaware of the grim reality behind the pristine walls of UNATCO and Page Industries' prisons. To the outside world, it was a beacon of advanced technology and security. But inside, it was a different story. Inmates-turned-employees lived in a perpetual state of limbo, their identities erased, their lives dictated by the cold calculations of an AI. They were trapped in a dystopian nightmare where freedom was a distant memory, and every day was a testament to the chilling efficiency of Page Industries' vision of justice.
