Jeff Landry signs bill allowing surgical castration of some sex offenders
The punishment could apply to certain offenders whose victims are under 13.
Louisiana judges can now sentence certain sex offenders to surgical castration, after Gov. Jeff Landry on Tuesday signed a bill into law that creates that penalty.
Offenders who receive such a sentence may refuse the procedure, in which case they would face an additional three to five years in prison.
Senate Bill 371 by Senate President Pro Tempore Regina Barrow, a Baton Rouge Democrat, received bipartisan support in the Legislature.
As Landry signed SB 371 in a ceremony at the Louisiana State Capitol, he sat beside Barrow and state Rep. Delisha Boyd, D-New Orleans.
“This is a method for us to protect our children,” said Boyd, who proposed a bill this year that would have established vasectomies as a form of punishment for sex offenders. House Bill 166 passed the House but then stalled in a Senate committee, failing to make it to Landry’s desk.

What a completely awful way to not address anything other than a desire for vengeance from victims.
The same dumbass somehow thought a vasectomy would be a punishment for sex offenders?? What the fuck is in the water down there?

8 0 ReplyWtf does a vasectomy even accomplish? Their dick will still work afterwards so it won't even stop them from re-offending. What is the logic here?
