    OK considering chemical castration for sex offenders

    OKLAHOMA CITY (KWTV/CBS) - State Sen. Mark Allen is pushing Senate Bill 671 to legalize chemical castration of violent sex offenders.

    The procedure, already in effect in two other states, could be in Oklahoma before the end of the year.

    The Oklahoma version of the bill would allow someone with a first conviction to voluntarily undergo the hormone treatment program as part of terms for early release.

    After a second conviction an offender would be required to undergo treatment.

    Allen said he has studied the process in other states.

    "The inmate has to go through counseling before going through the process," Allen said. "I think they've had about a 90 percent success rate. If somebody wants an early release from prison they can go through the process."

    Attorney David Slane has represented more than 500 sex offenders and believes chemical castration could work. He said it already has with some of his clients.

    "I remember one in particular who told me he went to his doctor voluntarily," Slane said. "He used this hormone therapy and, as he said, 'It cured me. I no longer have the thoughts. I no longer have the sex drive.' For years afterwards he had never reoffended. So to me, that was proof in the pudding. There may be something here."

    Both Florida and California require mandatory chemical castration injections for repeat sex offenders.

    The Oklahoma bill has a long way to go, but if passed, it could go into effect in November.

    "Offenders are in jail for a reason, and if there are any options for early release then this could be one of their options," Allen said.

    What if they are falsely convicted? Is it reversible?

    That was my first thought. I'm not sure if it's reversible.

    Chemical castration is generally considered reversible when treatment is discontinued, although permanent effects in body chemistry can sometimes be seen, as in the case of bone density loss increasing with length of use of Depo Provera.[3] Chemical castration has, from time to time, been used as an instrument of public and/or judicial policy despite concerns over human rights and possible side effects.

    As with the death penalty...I am against this because many people are set up, falsely accused and sentence with circumstantial evidence. I do not trust the system enough.
    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

    How a lunatic like you got full rep here is the real question, and deserves investigation.

    methinks that you are right. why don't YOU request one?

    I don't mind, it is not like it has not already been done.

    please report me for the aforementioned crime. or conspiracy, whatever suits your fancy.

    what you are suggesting, is that SOMEONE cheated on my behalf. whether or NOT you are bright enough to understand your accusation.

    have a nice day.

    I'm not surprised.

    The only question is why are you still here and why do you have full rep.

    I don't trust the system, but as a moral principle this would be my second choice if we can't execute rapists.

    The government shouldn't be providing incentive or disincentive to medicate.
    The government shouldn't be involved in medicine.

    If you want out early for a crime committed there should be community service options.

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    No, sex offenders is too broad.

    DNA-confirmed rapists? Sure, but there would have to be guidelines. If some woman is held down outside her work late at night, that is pretty open and shut. Sex at a college party, less so.

    "Offenders are in jail for a reason..." Allen said.
    Yeah, they sure are.

    And the state never makes a mistake and jails, castrates or executes an innocent man.

    Agreed.

    Chalk me up as one who is willing to entertain castration for beyond a doubt rapists and repeat child molesters.

    Anyway, this was killed in the Senate committee anyway.

    Are you a Constitutionalist? Chemical castration, it seems to me, violates the prohibition against "cruel or unusual punishment" on that piece of parchment. (8th ammendment)

    seriously?

    is that what YOU consider the Rule of Law to be?

    and YOU are tolerated around here... why?
