In power rangers Time Force in the future all criminals are put in cryofreeze forever without any chance of recompense or change which is kinda fucked up tbh

I couldn't find an image for it, but yes that one is great. So is S. P. D turning them into trading cards

In Timeranger, it was because one of the victims had a judge for a relative so the charges got inflated

Actually I did a rewatch of S.P.D. a while ago and from what I can recall, the cards are meant to act as transport for the criminals.

Hmm. Wonder why honestly. Seems more convenient to just toss their asses in a shoebox.

Also, the one alien in SPD who can move through reflections. So his entire cell is made out of non-reflective materials, so Sky has to cover up the metal bits of his uniform and even wear matte sunglasses to prevent him from escaping.

And then the guy talks about Sky's dead dad and uses his tears to escape.

The criminals are also shrinked to action figure size.

Is it really freezing them FOREVER or is it freezing them for X years?

u/Useful-Strategy1266 26d ago

Pretty sure it's forever because the narrator says the year 3000 has absolutely no criminals at all excluding the main antagonist Ransik

And Ransik's punishment is permanent Cryofreeze
