But I bet that "defense" can be switched to "offense" with just an easy flip of a switch.

What's the difference in a human shooting a criminal and a human telling a robot to. In the end the guard is not in harms ways and the criminal gets shot. We all win.

Never underestimate the dehumanizing element. Defense is one thing, but what about say...crowd control? Having to face you opponent/target can be a self-regulating factor. It makes you see that you're opponent is human, and you're more likely to treat them as such. Using excessive force can become easier if you're looking at your opponent only through a screen. Hell, we already have a big problem with excessive force as police become more militarized, I hate to see what it's like when we begin to completely remove the human factor and emotion.
TL;DR - It makes using excessive force more likely.

They don't have defense. Read the article. They're basically moving cameras that alert guards of suspicious conduct.

I know it's prison, but this does set a precedent for future deployment on the streets or in police departments (that was the point I was making in the first place). The police was militarized enough as it is, further dehumanization doesn't help the situation.

This is a case of people being incapable of understanding what a robot is and being reactionary. These are likely to simply be cameras on tracks on the celling or wheels on the floor that patrol up and down aisles, not androids. ...oh, and they protect prisoners by alerting guards if someone is being beaten up or stabbed. Would you rather they simply let them get on with it instead?

This is one of those instances where technology will not save us from ourselves. Sometimes we develop things to help us deal with the flaws within us, and at times we can be extremely successful at it, but in this case, it just helps dealing with the symptoms, not the problems that causes them.

This is true, especially considering everyone in jail is a serial killer.
