Could be right; but I suspect that would be most true of private prisons and civilian prisoners who have already be interrogated, tried, and convicted in the civil justice process.  In today’s environment, it appears that the informal process is what is carrying the day with cops willing to terrorize, hurt, and kill civilians who they want under their thumb but cannot justify taking actions against in formal processes and legal terms.  A robotic weapon that is able to kill cells silently and without any visible trace would make informal street justice easier and more acceptable since it would be harder to hold anyone accountable for the deaths or incapacitation that they could cause.  Most of the persons that such weaponry would be used on are those persons who are not likely to be the ones that would be doing hard time in private prisons any way, given the lack of any amount of sizable evidence against them.

Very few prisoners it is that they want to Terminate.  But they might be
interested in remapping yer brainses.  They make too much money for 
each per capita detainee to wastefully waste one.

  Will this be the next weaponized drone in the US’s arsenal which they will use to replace waterboarding and other interrogation techniques as a threat against uncooperative prisoners and detainees.  A new form of drug and chemical warfare that can be secretly administered in the confines of a prision cell.  I would not be surprised to see it being used in law enforcement to eliminate those who are otherwise able to stay out of the control of law enforcement – you terminate them with a shot that kills their cells.  No taser, no pistol, no rifle – just a dart gun is all that is needed.
