I was recently reading that the State of New Mexico has a bill going through its legislature to make chemical castration a condition of early release for pedophiles. The convicted pedo would have a choice of taking the injections or serving his entire sentence; the option is theirs.
Not that I know much, if anything, about this treatment’s effectiveness or all of the bill’s details, but it sounds like a reasonable first step.
Reading more about this turns out that this is nothing new as ten other states (Alabama, Calif., Fla., Iowa, Georgia, Louis., Montana, Oregon, Texas, and Wisconsin) all have this idea set in law.
Why not here in New Hampshire? It’s not like there aren’t enough perverts roaming around who could benefit from a dose or accountability. If any reader(s) would suggest this as part of a conviction sentence for repeat offenders, I couldn’t work up any strong argument against it.
Guess I just don’t have any compassion for these folks.
