The recidivism of 136 extrafamilial child molesters who had received phallometric assessment in a maximum security psychiatric institution from 1972 to 1983 was determined over an average 6.3-year follow-up. Fifty had participated in behavioral treatment to alter inappropriate sexual age preferences. Thirty-one percent of the subjects were convicted of a new sex offense, 43% committed a violent or sexual offense, and 58% were arrested for some offense or returned to the institution. Subjects convicted of a new sex offense had previously committed more sex offenses, had been admitted to correctional institutions more frequently, were more likely to have been diagnosed as personality disordered, were more likely to have never married, and had shown more inappropriate sexual preferences in initial phallometric assessment than those who had not. Behavioral treatment did not affect recidivism.

Why should we spend $50,000+/year for death row inmates? One year maximum on the row...one bullet to end it...'nuff said.
The amount of tax dollars save could make a HUGE dent in the national debt. Tax payer s would rejoice nationwide...
Actually, my plan would save you a lot of money. They'd last about 15 minutes alive in General Pop. The inmates would need that time to fight amongst themselves as to who would shank the perv.
Testosterone Nation
The physician, L.L. Stanley, ended up doing 21 transplants with human testicles and over 300 with animal testicles. San Quentin inmates were literally lining up to get the procedure and recipients reported "a feeling of buoyancy, a joy of living....."
About the same time, and inspired by Stanley’s work, a French physician began transplanting monkey testicles into patients who complained of loss of sexual drive. He declared that the procedure promoted physical and mental prowess and advocated that it be performed on children to create a "new super-race of men of genius."
LARRY HELM SPALDINGChild molesters, rapists, and other sex offenders are perceived as among the most vile members of society. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Legislature revived an ancient method of turning these condemned men into eunuchs. This time, however, the lawmakers advocated the use of drugs, not the surgeon's scalpel, to accomplish their objective.[8] While medical advances have made chemical suppression of the sex drive possible as a treatment for some sex offenders, the procedure is not free from criticism by medical, psychological, and psychiatric professionals.[9] Moreover, some, like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), believe that court-ordered, mandatory chemical castration is unconstitutional

Ignorant people adopt foolish methods to kill the indriyas. They fail eventually. Many foolish aspirants amputate the organ of reproduction. They think that lust can be eradicated by such a procedure. What a great foolish act! Lust is in the mind. If the mind is subdued, what can this external fleshy organ do? Some swallow tons of nux vomica to kill this organ. They fail in their attempts to be centred in brahmacharya. The state of their mind remains the same, though they become impotent by taking nux vomica...

Master Samael(Aun Weor) related that he was submitted to a certain kind of test while alongside Krishnamurti. The two were questioned, "What would you do if you were suddenly witnessing the rape of a woman?"
Krishnamurti answered, "I cannot answer that, because I am not there. When I face that situation, then I will know what to do; I can only answer while facing that in the moment."
The interviewer turned to Samael and asked him the same question. "What would you do?"
Samael said, "I would do ANYTHING to help the lady, even to the point of KILLING her attacker."
The questioner said, "You are right. This is the correct thing to do."

Why are you all trying to treat the symptom instead of the cause?
...Let's focus more on the cause and less on the symptom.
