Should We Help Inmates Get Erections?
“Two Danish prison bosses have been reprimanded for handing out the Viagra anti-impotence drug to inmates free of charge, officials said. ‘If inmates want Viagra to be administered to them by the prison doctor they must pay for it themselves like every other citizen on the outside,’ said Justice Minister Lene Espersen. Espersen said in a letter to a far-right MP who complained about the practice that directors of two jails had been given a dressing down for handing out the blue pills to prisoners, mainly motorcycle gang members suffering impotence because of steroid use.” — News.com.au (Australia)
You have to admit that it seems counterintuitive for the prison system — hell, for the taxpayers — to help prisoners get erections. In the first place, if inmates suffer impotence as a result of drugs they abused prior to going to prison, then shouldn’t they just have to suffer the consequences of their actions? If erections are so important to them, they should have had the foresight not to jeopardize their manliness with steroids and whatnot. In the second place, what do prisoners need erections for anyway? To rape their cellmates? In the third place, you could make a good argument that, far from giving them Viagra, wardens should give prisoners drugs that dampen and destroy their sexual desires (at least while they’re in prison). After all, what is prison for? Punishment. And can you find a worse punishment for a man than depriving him not only of his liberty but his libido?
“After all, what is prison for? Punishment.”
If that is the only purpose of prison, then what is to suggest that we are just not breeding greater criminals?
It is never cost effective to attack symptoms and ignore the problems that cause them.
