Sterilization for early release

My initial thoughts: This will be very controversial, but given recidivism rates, bad job prospects for the ex-con and the well established socio-economic patterns of children following in their parents footsteps (back to jail) ,...this might be a great idea.

quote:

A judge in central Tennessee is hoping to help repeat offenders “make something of themselves” by offering them a highly original and probably unconstitutional deal: reduced jail time in exchange for sterilization operations.


But when I see the time he's willing to reduce, I'm thinking WTF!

quote:

Under a standing order issued by General Sessions Judge Sam Benningfield, inmates in White County, Tenn., can receive 30 days credit toward their jail time if they volunteer for vasectomies or contraceptive implants, as NewsChannel 5 reported Thursday.

30 whole days? C'mon man!

Seems a bit social engineering, but not a bad idea. The reduction in sentence should be a percentage. Maybe 10% time off?

A super liberal buddy of mine came up with the idea that after a woman has her 3rd abortion, she should be sterilized. I like that idea too.

Thanks for the downvote.

Yeah, I agree. I might even go higher considering the massive cost savings down-the-road. I bet well over half of current inmates had a parent who spent time in jail. And it's all voluntary.....so...I could get on board.

Downvote wasn't me. But don't let it bother you. I've had a couple of downvotes in my posting career.

I'm still trying to figure out how you're going to somehow make this Trump's fault.

This is 1936 NAZI level, not quite 1940, but close

Receipt of welfare, food stamps or Medicaid should require sterilization.

Agree - this is a non-offer.

However, I'd like to see sterilization as a demand for continued support from the FedGov.

For instance, if you are able bodied but refuse to work or to pay child support for children you have already sired or given birth to, sterilization should be DEMANDED for any further continuation of aid.

We could couch it as fighting climate change - cause we know overpopulation is the root cause of it - whatever you call it.

I'm all for offering a one time payment of 20k for men and women under the age of 28 to get snipped or tubes tied.

I'm all for it.

EZE Tiger Fan would gladly give his tax dollars to fund abortion and sterilization of the criminal demographic.

Definitely getting into potentially murky seas BUT it's optional....so.....

This is why I love PP giving out free BC. Defunding that program is idiotic.

For me that's the underscore. If someone is willing to go through that in exchange for only 30 days, I really don't want them reproducing.
