Psychiatric prisons are growing weary of the over-whelming amount of sex offenders that are long-term patients in the prisons and show now signs of getting better.
The criminal law application council RSJ states that the problem is because sex offenders are not given the right to chemical castration. At present most of these prisons refuse to give the drug to patients, but RSJ argues that, "By refusing, the prisons are not giving prisoners good care and are reducing their chances of getting out."
One board member for RSJ, Louis Donker, said, "Every prisoner must have the same chance of getting the treatment he needs. That can make the difference between getting out and removal to a long-stay ward."
