In a move that will likely trigger constitutional challenges, Guam Senator James Moylan introduced a bill today that will toughen the requirement for chemical castration from voluntary to mandatory.
The drugs are a mixture of hormones and anti-androgen drugs that lower sex drive. It is generally considered reversible when treatment is discontinued; however, there are side effects like bone density changes and increases in body fat and long term effects of heart disease and osteoporosis.
The bill would apply to qualifying sex offenders that have been released on probation or parole, and would force the registrant to pay for the therapy.
I have seen some instances where an offender did their time, say 10 years, and yet were held for life based on prehistoric laws where they can hold someone forever if they feel they are a danger to society.
Civil Commitment. It is widely used.
Back in 2004, after Hurricane Ivan came by, my house burned down, I stay elsewhere, but did not give a temporary address to DMV. Well, they came by and arrested me for this terrible “violation”. The Judge offered at the sentencing two options, one was 18 months Prison or Chemical Castration. ,Go figure. What is the Chemical Castration do to make sure I don’t do this “terrible crime” again? Mental giants in the Government and Judicial System. Judge didn’t want to hear what I had been doing since coming out of Prison. The still don’t want to know. All they see is the initial offense, for which I was sentenced to 8 years Prison and 10 years Probation, which I completed, But this was the time in which then Gov. Scott changed things and I became a RSO. NO justice.

So the government is forcibly administering a treatment that can physically disable and possibly kill this man. I had to reread this to make sure I was reading it correctly, because a slow, possibly agonizing, physically damaging sentence seems unconstitutional to me.
This is ungodly!!
What the man did was ungodly, too…
But 2 wrongs do not make a right.
I read a case law where the defendant chose to voluntarily be chemically castrated.
Somewhere along the lines that case was appealed and it was declared that chemical castration could not be enforced on the man as part of his sentence regardless of who chose as it amounted to cruel and unusual punishment.
I’m continually awed that my fellow Americans seek such ambitious punishments on a regular basis yet barely raise a finger for anything resembling prevention or rehabilitation.
