The Chemical Castration for Sex Offenders Act passed 8-7, according to a release from the legislature.
The pilot program at the Department of Correction will screen and refer convicted sex offenders to undergo anti-androgen treatment, or chemical castration, one week before their release. The candidates will be those eligible for release on parole within six months.
The bill will be forwarded to the governor.
I need to consult Dr. Google on what entails chemical castration.
************************************
Sexual crimes are a significant public health problem, efforts to prevent recidivism and protect the community are worthy, and public safety can take precedence over criminal's rights. Chemical castration reduces recidivism effectively when offered to sexual offenders within the context of simultaneous comprehensive psychotherapeutic treatment. However, chemical castration under the current laws is vaguely positioned between punishment and treatment due to lack of informed consent by the recipient, and so remains a problematic issue for medical ethics. Therefore, physicians are obligated to very closely monitor any potential treatment complications in sexual offenders undergoing chemical castration.
Chemical castration is not a cure-all for sex offenders, you have to get down to the motivation to solve that riddle.
As for the sex offender city, I'm not surprised. If we are going to release these people from custody they have to live somewhere. They are denied by property managers, employers, and subject to insane requirements on where they can and can't live.
The law is flawed, it covers too many people with no discretion for circumstances, the 18-19 year old guy/girl that fooled around with a 16 year old guy/girl is not a threat to society, neither is the guy peeing in the alley, or the couple f'ing on the beach.
Rapists, child under 10 rapists, maybe a few more categories of rapists (depending on circumstances), pfffh shoot em in the head

Actually, I think the sex offender city is a good idea. As for kid touchers and rapists, I agree, a bullet would cure them.
It's the brain that needs to be changed. If they chemically castrate, the offender can still us an object to satisfy. The penis is the object, if no use of it, any object will do, is my belief.
As for the city, I say all should be sent there to live, this way maybe, just maybe no temptations to reoffend.
