Louisiana Castration Law

- California became the first state to pass a chemical castration law in 1996
- Chemical castration has side effects
- Violates order at least six months and up to three months in jail
- Surgical castration: testicles removed
- Chemical castration for first-offense forcible rape, sexual battery, incest, indecent behavior with a juvenile, juvenile pornography, molestation of a juvenile, aggravated crime against nature and child abuse

On April 8, 2008, the Louisiana State Senate committee unanimously approved a bill proposed by Senator Nick Gautreaux that would require sex offenders to undergo chemical castration, or opt for physical castration. Bill 144 will be passed on to full Senate for debate. Bill 144 would call for sex offenders to undergo chemical castration upon conviction, although they would have the option to be voluntarily physically castrated. The chemical used for castration is medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). MPA is the main ingredient in the contraceptive Depo-Provera, studies have found it to decrease sexual aggression in men.
In addition, Bill 143 which prohibits sex offenders from distributing candy or gifts on holidays, to anyone 18 or younger was also passed.
