They wanted to bring this same thing in Australia saying that if the perpetrator got a chemical castration done to him he can shorten his stay in jail. But the problem is that once he is out he can get it medically fixed up since it isn't permanent.
"Everyone should remember that this is only temporary chemical castration. It's absolutely reversible and reversible quite quickly. This is a knee-jerk response from this Government."
The Louisiana bill, SB 144, gives the court the option of castration on a first conviction of aggravated rape, forcible rape, second degree sexual battery, aggravated incest, molestation of a juvenile when the victim is under the age of 13, or an aggravated crime against nature.
Castration is required on a second conviction of the listed crimes.
Good grief. I thought this country was founded on being humane. What is supposed to set the United States apart...

All child molesters should be castrated. I dont care if its a first time offense, because you dont know how many victims he had before he
was caught.
If they are going to be castrated it HAS to be permanant, you know?
