Forced Chemical Castration
As of now FL, Iowa & CA have it as a rule of Parole along with therapy for convicted pedophiles who's victim was 13 or younger.
The drug has major side effects like bone density disorders, enlarging of the breasts and hips and major physiological and personality disorders like suicidal depression.
That said it allows dangerous reoffenders to parole out and join society with very low chance of reoffending.
What are your thoughts on it being forced on these men?

it is partially reversible because it doesn't remove the testicles it just cuts libido and T. The loss of T is the danger though but you can get T from GMC.

And that would defeat the purpose of the treatment. Increasing Test. levels, again, would just bring the libido back, again. That's what they are trying to eliminate.

And let it be voluntary AND with an informed decision. Have a third party who represents the interests of the offender/prisoner (like a lawyer) verify that their client is consenting.Then let them accept the risks/side-effects and continue on.
This is how it pretty much has to be done.

And?
No offense but this isnt even a full thought.
More like a "verbal" tick. Just throw this out there every time a subject that deals with prisoner's rights comes up.
This is no different than any other punishment meted out by the judicial system. It had to be approved, it isnt some unsanctioned endeavor.
In this case it also leaves the choice up to the individual.
These people DONT have to do it, they can always just serve their sentences.

Of course, it's a full thought. It's the problem most civilized countries that don't have capital punishment have with capital punishment. The US has often killed the innocent by mistake.
