Castration has been used as a legal form of punishment to enable sex offenders to reenter a community with reduced danger of re-offending, according to legal experts. California became the first state to legalize castration, and a handful of states followed suit. Two states have repealed such laws, but eight states, including Florida and Texas, have some form of castration law on the books.

      This is one half of the reason I’m against retributive justice. Can you imagine being the guy that gets wrongly castrated? I don’t know all the details of this case, maybe he’s 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt absolutely guilty. I don’t trust Louisiana to ensure that everyone that gets the punishment is.
