Chemical castration or it's back to jail
"WA's most notorious paedophiles and rapists will be urged to undergo chemical castration to keep their freedom or go back to jail
ALMOST half of WA's worst rapists and paedophiles have been told to undergo chemical castration or go back to jail.
Currently seven of the 16 prisoners classed as dangerous sex offenders in WA have been released back into society by the Supreme Court on the condition they take anti-libidinal medication.
Five of them were approved in the past two years and none has re-offended.
An investigation of court documents reveals a trend in which judges have increasingly imposed the treatment as a condition of supervision orders.
Those breaching them would be locked up again if compulsory blood tests show rising testosterone unless they had a reason.
WA inmates cannot be forced to take libido-lowering medication normally Androcur tablets to reduce their sex drive, but the judiciary has discretion to make the treatment compulsory as part of release conditions."
