TN: Lawmaker Files Bill To Chemically Castrate Convicted Sex Offenders

January 3, 2020, 9:32 pm

Tennessee Republican Bruce Griffey introduced a bill that would require anyone convicted of a sexual offense against a child under the age of 13 to be chemically castrated,

Under the language of the bill, which is nearly identical to that of a similar law approved last year in Alabama, those sentenced for the crime would undergo a chemical injection that “reduces, inhibits or blocks the production of testosterone, hormones, or other chemicals in a person’s body.” If the person refuses, he would be considered to be in violation of his parole and would be “immediately remanded to the custody of the department of correction for the remainder of the person’s sentence,”.

Further, the condemned would be required to pay for the “treatments” himself.
