Republican Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Monday signed a bill into law that requires someone convicted of a sex offense against a child under the age of 13 to begin chemical castration a month before being released from custody.
The law requires individuals convicted of such an offense to continue treatments until a court deems the treatment is no longer necessary. It says offenders must pay for the treatment, and they can't be denied parole solely based on an inability to pay.

This one I am a bit undecided on; I haven't read the medical literature regarding this procedure.....while it may prevent the actual physical sex act, I dont see how it would prevent acts of violence on a victim.
Does this factor into potential plea deals for rapists and molesters?
