Has Many Of Them Fearing For Their Life
Following the example of Florida and California, Oklahoma State Senator Mark Allen supports a bill that aims to chemically castrate violent sex offenders.
First time violent sex offenders will receive an option to undergo the chemical castration process in exchange for an early release from prison. But second time sex offenders will be forced to undergo mandatory chemical castration.
What do you think of this law? Will it work?
Having represented more than 500 sex offenders in court, attorney David Slane believes that chemical castration could be extremely effective in helping violent sex offenders rehabilitate themselves and return peacefully to society.
Slane shares his story:
I remember one in particular who told me he went to his doctor voluntarily. 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.
Even though Slane has seen chemical castration work, he still recognizes that there are shortcomings especially in forcing people to take drugs.
“On the other hand, the idea that we would force drugs on people that have not been approved by the FDA would subject the state to lawsuits, and I feel like that part needs to be taken out,” Slane said.
But Senator Allen is looking at the results other states have had.
“The inmate has to go through counseling before going through the process. 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,” Allen said.
