Has anybody seen the current movie in which Kevin Bacon playes a sex offender released from prison? This is a very serious problem complicated even further by heavy emotions. Castration would never be an acceptable answer for justice.Sex offenders are sick to begin with.If a person who has raped or molested a child was castrated and then at some time released back into society,wouldn't he think that this is just one more "injustice" done to him? wouldn't he unleash on society next time by committing murder? I am concerned about our society sinking to the level of these people by accepting violence as an answer to it's problems. An ankle bracelet would be a good answer.I think it would also work for non violent "cheque forging" type crimes that don't justify prison time.
