Chongqing: Prisoner becomes inventor

2013/04/25

A former drug dealer has been granted 10 patents since he was put into prison in 2008. His inventions include a device that can prevent a car from going backward when climbing up hills, and a glass installed in vehicles that automatically breaks in emergency, such as fire or dropping into water. Many companies have shown interest in commercializing these patents. The prisoner received the death penalty with a stay of execution in May 2008. His sentence was reduced to imprisonment of 18 years in 2012.
