'This bill would provide that a person convicted of a sex offense involving a person under the age of 13 years who is eligible for parole, as a condition of parole, shall be required to undergo chemical castration treatment in addition to any other penalty or condition prescribed by law,' the bill says.
The Alabama state legislature has sent a bill to Gov. Kay Ivey that proposes sex offenders convicted of abusing children age 13 and under be required to undergo chemical castration before leaving prison., would require the individual to pay for the injection but that a person will not be denied parole because of inability to pay the cost of the treatment.
The bill applies to convicted offenders over the age 21, State Representative Steve Hurst, the Republican who introduced the bill to the Legislature,If a criminal refuses to take the treatment"as a condition of parole" then it would be considered a parole violation and the individual would be ordered to return to jail.
However, Hurst told WIAT-TV that he feels the punishment should fit the crime committed by the offenders."I had people call me in the past when I introduced it and said, 'don't you think this is inhumane?' I asked them what's more inhumane than when you take a little infant child, and you sexually molest that infant child when the child cannot defend themselves or get away, and they have to go through all the things they have to go through.
