  Yes, you've successfully identified an important difference between single-use birth control and permanent sterilization.

    Hormone implants aren't permanent, and vasectomies might not be either. The inmates have a choice to accept, and do not get jail time for refusing.

      Vasectomies are permanent enough. Quibbling over failure rates and the possibility of expensively restoring fertility doesn't really change the fact that coercing defendants into getting them is problematic. "We'll reduce your jail time if you do X" is functionally the same thing as "We'll increase your jail time if you don't do X".
