US ponders unlocking the gates to prisoner research
Article Abstract:
The US government has set a committee to revise the rules governing research on prisoners to protect them from the abuses of the past and also prevents them from participating in legitimate studies. The new rules can help the prisoners to indulge themselves in various studies and to be a part of the society, though many people believe that these measures are useless considering the ethical values locked inside them.
