| the damage he causes is largely psychological, as over a dozen terrified women and children could tell you. but he's willing to go to jail for his 'pleasure', and as such has no real motivation to cease his activities. if he can't be stopped by the law, then what can stop him ?. |
probably well over a dozen. there are a couple problems here. it's my understanding chronic or serial flashers often accellerate their impositions. for every complaint, there are very likely many more victims who didnt report him. like otis on the old andy griffith show (the town drunk who used to lock himself up when he was smashed, for those who arent familiar with the show or character; benny hill routines also come to mind), there's a comic element in the abstract, but in real life its nothing to treat lightly. unfortunately, chemical castration without concurrent counseling and treatment isnt necessarily effective. the la sheriff's department, under a special federal court order, has relegated an entire floor of its jail facilities to house sexual predators whove served their sentence but arent being released due to a state law prohibiting discharge unless/until it can be reasonably determined they no longer present a danger to the community. accepting chemical castration is taken as a means to that end. clearly it's a violation of the inmates' civil rights--theyre allowed special privileges but relase isnt one of those--and puts the justice system in a very bizarre position.
