    Can Castration Be a Solution for Sex Offenders? Man Who Mutilated Himself in Jail Thinks So, but Debate on Its Effectiveness Continues in Va., Elsewhere

    It's one thing to self-mutilate, but another thing for someone to pull a Lorena Bobbitt (and did she ever bob it! [sorry]) -- and still another for the state to promote a policy of voluntary castration for convicted sex offenders in exchange for even conditional release into a community. Welcome to the dark ages. Would that program be considered punishment or rehabilitation or both?

    Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. I gotta think that any man who would take that deal probably has other really compelling issues that need to be addressed as well.
