There was no "them" when I thought about it. I wrote about what I would prefer for myself. Do you want a humane solution? Ask the people affected what they would prefer. And chemical castration does little permanent harm. Yes, long-term use could reduce bone density, but a few months of the drug, and the offenders might change their mind about whether rape is worth the trouble or not.

But the problem is not just in the cell where it just you, but amongst the general population. You are no safer if others opt for no CCTV and no castration, so you would be safer in your cell, and safe against becoming a rapist, but not much safer against being raped overall.

  > But the problem is amongst the general population Do you imagine a scenario where I'd be the only guy getting assaulted? Must be an exceptionally safe prison then! Otherwise, I'm sure I could convince my fellow assault-victim inmates, and we could come up with an amicable solution. It's easy to pick on my ideas. I have never been in prison. I don't know feasible alternatives. I can't come up with solutions that please everybody. I already told you what I'd prefer if I were there. Why don't you propose your own solutions, instead of just nit-picking mine?
