Britain considering chemical castration for sex offenders under prison reforms
Britain is considering mandating the use of chemical castration for sex offenders under an overhaul of the justice system aimed at freeing up more space in its overcrowded prisons.
One of the first acts of the Labour government in July was to announce plans to release more prisoners early to tackle a crisis of overcrowding in jails which ministers said threatened a “total breakdown of law and order.”
Announcing the findings of a review into how to tackle the crisis, justice minister Shabana Mahmood said it had recommended continuing a pilot of so-called “medication to manage problematic sexual arousal.”
“I am exploring whether mandating the approach is possible,” she told lawmakers.
Options include pharmaceuticals that suppress libido and those that reduce sexual thoughts, the review said.

@Maple So Maple you have never sinned nor fallen short in need of the Grace of God/in need of the Mercy of God?
Im on the registry but I support abolishing the sex offense registry and I support abolishing the death penalty/capital punishment because those deterrents arent working on how we approach violent crime in this country.
@Maple plus Im Anti-Capital Punishment and Anti-Sex Crimes Registry because neither of them are working deterrents.
