I can imagine the plot of a 1980s sci-fi dystopia movie where the evil billionaire says “The implant means they will get time off for good behavior. Or they’ll die an serve a useful purpose.” In the real world it’s ~50 years later and the movie’s flaw is that the evil billionaire is ~100 times as rich.
In the present day I can easily see a liberal spin on it in newsrags that says something like “sorry, hate to break it to you, but like it or not, chipping prisoners is improving the future for humans and making those prisoners repay their debt to society in a humanity-saving way, actually.”
