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 Two states have repealed such laws, but eight states, including Florida and Texas, have some form of castration law on the books.
I did not know that was an option.

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.
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.
I assumed this would be chemically castrated, but no, it literally means they’re going to physically castrate this guy.
Is physical castration a thing? Vasectomies are physical, and that’s seems much easier and more desirable to achieve chemically than castration.
