Chemical Castration

When the words Chemical Castration is uttered, the vision in my head is of a man having his bits dipped into Bleach or Acid, presumably held tightly and with lots of screaming so when Shabana Mahmood, the Lord Chancellor, said she was is considering mandatory chemical castration for the most serious sex offenders i did decide to find out exactly what it involved so looked it up on Wikipedia.
No pictures of men being held over a bucket and being dipped whatsover but it did explain that drugs are injected to lower the bodies Testosterone and reduce sex drive and the capacity for sexual arousal which sounds much more humane but isn't really castration so that name seems  a bit misleading.
The Government are now planning a pilot scheme and if successful, a national roll -out with chemical castration mandatory rather than voluntary, for the most serious offenders in what they said was part of a look into Penal reform which sounds more like what i had in my minds eye.
I did know that computer scientist Alan Turing was charged with gross indecency for engaging in homosexual acts and accepted chemical castration as a term of his probation, thus avoiding imprisonment because in the 1950's (and with some religio's today) being gay was considered 'gross' although 60 years after his death, the then Prime Minister Gordon Brown issued a public apology for the appalling treatment of Turing and was given a posthumous Royal Pardon because that obviously made everything okay.
Obviously we will need to see how the trials go before it is decided if Chemical Castration will become a thing although most people would prefer it was proper castration of sex offenders using two bricks or a rusty, blunt knife but this is the 2020's and we are more tolerant and considerate so maybe give the knife a wipe with wire wool first.
