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 Again youre passing judgement when Jesus said not to pass judgement. A lot of people on here are remorseful and repentant and deeply regret what they have done.
The USA and Britian have the same Cruel and Unusal Punishment standards and that was found unconstitutional when George judge (white) ordered it against 3 (black) men.
Britian took away that Punishmen when a famous scientist was killed by that treatent. He created the german decoder in WWII. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/alan-turing-betchley-park
Alan Turing helped the British government pioneer the technology to decrypt Nazi Germany’s secret communications during World War II. In 1952, Alan Turing was forced to endure chemical castration by the same government after being prosecuted for homosexual acts.
Pardon for his immoral crimes
Alan Turing a code-breaker, a war hero. I did not know about his chemical castration.

@Rob Im on the registry myself my wife is currently on probation for the next 17 and a half years in regards to her case she was suffering from bi-polar depression and post-partum depression and was convicted of aggravated child abuse and attempted homicide of her infant daughter and she did 8 and a half years inside. My wife committed an act of violence due to mental illness and not due to pre-disposition/pre-meditation. Criminalizing mental health disorders is what we do best in the United States of America. In my case I was wrongfully convicted due to entrapment from an internet child solicitation sting operation off of a dating website for consenting adults.

very disturbing and , maddening
Some of you who post as your real name (which you are actually supposed to do by law when using the internet as a life time registrant) are the worst of the worst charges. I looked up your cases. 1st degree sexual assault, sexual battery, etc. These are absolutely horrible and sickening. You really have the audacity to keep up your excuses and stories in this world ?? And I’m not talking about those offenders and not the ones with small or even unnecessary charges.
There is no law that states people must post with their real name, they only have to report internet identifiers to FDLE.
**meant to write that I am talking about those worst of the worst only**
Maple,
Again. Who are you to judge?
Maple,
Who are you to judge? I don’t see people making excuses for the actions that put them on the registry. I see people critical of government overreach and harassment. Which is what the registry is. The registry doesn’t protect children. It doesn’t prevent crime.
Happy Friday,rise and shine,be polite 🌄
@Rob Its highly more than likely that your ex-wife was sexually abused herself and its not an excuse. Yet hurt people hurt other people, while healed people heal other people.
Social Services discovered her when she was two years old with her younger sister apparently abandoned for days in a locked primitive bathroom with no food or water on a reservation up north. Social Services decided it was best to separate them due to the trauma they endured. My ex-wife’s life went downhill from there in orphan homes and eventually adopted into a dysfunctional big city family where they were having sex with each other like it was the thing to do.
I suffer, can’t travel free, will never live in a condo with a beautiful view of the ocean, sky, and thunderstorms. So on forever, but at the end of the day, I am OK. We did not have that kind of crazy in our family, maybe why I was so naive.
That wife, was beyond repair for an amateur like me. Attachment Trauma Disorder, I think I was enlightened to after I got out of prison. For her, she endured many types of abuse, sex being one of them. When I was playing with plastic dinosaurs in sand and collecting Matchbox Cars, she was a little younger being a sex toy for a really weird family.
Thing is happening even as we speak. But who can speak up without destroying everyone’s reality as they know it. How many mother’s and father’s could do life in prison not because of anything they ever did, but because of what they did not do; call the cops and destroy an entire reality.
I am fortunate to know the exact instant I could have helped saved a young girl’s future and my own ass and I blew it. Whatever my pay forever, it was because I did not call the cops and tell what I saw IMMEDIATELY.
How many out there in that situation? Now too late?
@Rob: Back then in the 1970s getting married between the ages of 12 and 17 and getting married while still in middle school and high school was not illegal either.
My first wife was 15 when she got pregnant and I was 17. She was 16 carrying my son when we got married and I was 18. We had to go to Virginia to get married as we were living in West Virginia where I worked and the laws were different. On the way home that day speeding we got pulled over on the WV Turnpike! It was 1978 and there was a lawlessness in them hills back then. Trooper suggested I was kidnapping a minor across state lines as I was handing him our Marriage License. I was scared being a hippie in redneck country with my pregnant Hee-Haw Honey. I got a speeding ticket, but did not catch a sex offense on our wedding day. 🙂
