If only a Judge in Pissburg had offered this to bambino's and lustylads mommas.

A judge in central Tennessee is hoping to help repeat offenders “make something of themselves” by offering them a highly original and probably unconstitutional deal: reduced jail time in exchange for sterilization operations.
Under a standing order issued by General Sessions Judge Sam Benningfield, inmates in White County, Tenn., can receive 30 days credit toward their jail time if they volunteer for vasectomies or contraceptive implants, as NewsChannel 5 reported Thursday.
The order came down quietly in May, and already dozens of inmates have sought to take advantage of it. Thirty-two women have received implants of the hormone device Nexplanon, and 38 men have signed up to receive vasectomies, according to NewsChannel 5.

It would be like if we told those on death row/life no parole "Oi guys, we have an idea, you give 5 years of your life to medical science for them to test what ever drugs are coming down the pipeline, and we take you from death row to life parole in 30, life no parole to life parole in 20...
How is that coercive/unconstitutional??
It reeks of eugenics, and there is nothing to prevent these inmates from later suing the taxpayers claiming they were "coerced" against their will; thus, forcing the taxpayers to give them money for their "hurts and injuries" and forcing the taxpayers to foot the bill to have these procedures reversed.

I thought we were gonna pack the Supreme Court to prevent that kind of judicial nonsense!
We coerce taxpayers all the time with incentives...
You have a kid, you get a tax break.
I see nothing wrong with this.
