Actually though, if the prisoner were alive still, kept that way
intentionally, and it were a mage that the corps wanted something from, they
could drag him/her into space and use drugs, chemistry, subliminations, matrix
and who knows what else and the mage would be unable to fight back, at least
not in the normal sense s/he would be able to. And when done, they could
"space him" and leave no traces what ever happened to the guy.

Rutger Hauer flick I saw once...
