Chemical castration is the administration of medication designed to reduce libido and sexual activity, usually in the hope of preventing rapists, child molesters and other sex offenders from re-offending. Unlike surgical castration, where the testes are removed through an incision in the scrotum,[1] chemical castration does not actually castrate the person, nor is it a form of sterilization, hence the term "chemical castration" has been called a misnomer.[2]. Chemical castration is generally considered reversible when treatment is discontinued; in the case of Depo Provera, "no permanent physical change is wrought in the body."[2]

I've read testimony from offenders that chemical castration helps if they genuinely want to stop offending. It reduces the drive. However I've read one who said that it was only actual castration that really gave him peace.

I just don't know. Afaik paedophiles cannot be cured, they are at best like alcoholics taking it one day at a time. But really in our society it must be like being an alcoholic living in a pub. Almost impossible, almost unbearable.

I think they should be offered an island, not a harsh environment, but a controlled one where they can live freely. Work for a living, learn skills, associate as they will, communicate as they will. But never leave.
