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 Two states have repealed such laws, but eight states, including Florida and Texas, have some form of castration law on the books.
That’s kinda wild. If we had a justice system that I trusted, I’d would be okay with retributive punishment or eye for an eye style.
Of course, even in a just system, I sometimes wonder what should be done with rapists and those who harm children.
