    A big smile, whilst it tasers the prisoners?

    Assuming it's a single sex male prison, make it a girl robot

    Seriously, who did they get to design that thing? McDonalds?

    I want to take a baseball bat to it, so I can't imagine what the prisoners will do to it.

    Are you kidding? Seriously? Replacing REAL people for unreliable robots?

    Weve all seen iRobot come on!

    In all seriousness, robotic "humans", spells trouble

    Would make a great weapon once a few bits have been stamped on & broken off....

    I fail to see how this is going to make any difference.

    Prisoner: "I'm dying, help me!"

    Robot: "I'm sorry, I don't understand that command, did you mean "I'm crying"? Are you sad?"
