Tennessee Prison is Sterilizing Black Inmates
 

This is in White County Tennessee, no joke.

?I hope to encourage them to take personal responsibility and give them a chance, when they do get out, to not to be burdened with children,? Benningfield said. ?This gives them a chance to get on their feet and make something of themselves.?

Tennessee County Offers Inmates Shorter Sentences If They Get Sterilized

A jail in White County, Tennessee, is offering reduced sentences to inmates who agree to a vasectomy or birth control implant, ABC 15 reported Wednesday.

Inmates who volunteer are rewarded with 30 days less jail time under an order signed in May by Judge Sam Benningfield. The judge told ABC 15 he hopes the procedures, provided for free by the Tennessee Department of Health, will reduce the number of repeat offenders who can?t afford child support.

So far, 32 women have gotten the implant, and 38 men are waiting to have their vasectomies.

?I hope to encourage them to take personal responsibility and give them a chance, when they do get out, to not to be burdened with children,? Benningfield said. ?This gives them a chance to get on their feet and make something of themselves.?

White County District Attorney Bryant Dunaway said he does not support the program, describing it as unethical and possibly illegal. ?It?s comprehensible that an 18-year-old gets this done, it can?t get reversed and then that impacts the rest of their life,? he said.

Similar programs have run into legal troubles before. California banned the coercive sterilization of inmates in 2014 after investigative reports revealed 39 women in the state had been illegally sterilized in prison without proper consent.

?Pressuring a vulnerable population into making permanent reproductive choices without informed consent is unacceptable and violates our most basic human rights,? said California state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, who authored the legislation to end the practice.

In Tennessee, the inmates are voluntarily undergoing the procedure ― but the American Civil Liberties Union said the program still violates the Constitution.

?Offering a so-called ?choice? between jail time and coerced contraception or sterilization is unconstitutional,? the group said in a statement. ?Such a choice violates the fundamental constitutional right to reproductive autonomy and bodily integrity by interfering with the intimate decision of whether and when to have a child, imposing an intrusive medical procedure on individuals who are not in a position to reject it.?

Excons offered reduced sentences for getting vasectomies? Are people actually against this? Sounds like a GREAT idea.

This thread is Bill Gates approved.

I think it's a great idea, as long as it's not race based. The last thing we need is cons reproducing kids that will inevitably be fucked up :2 cents:

I think the government should offer tax incentives for people who are or offer it for free to anyone that wants it.

Push this though

Mostly white people in White county.

New niche? Chix with Meth Sores?

They all look the same damn breeders :disgust

I don't think sterilizing persons incarcerated under duress ( by the authority of the state) would be constitutional.

This will probably end up in the federal courts.

California Bans Coerced Sterilization of Female Inmates
right now it is a state's rights issue.

It isn't race based you fucking liar. And yeah, your headline is a lie.

Bladeliar again

In fact, if you were not so stupid and knew anything of the backstory you would be more inclined to think they are sterilizing white inmates.

The census agrees: The racial makeup of the county was 96.63% White, 1.64% Black or African American, 0.20% Native American, 0.23% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 0.46% from other races, and 0.79% from two or more races. 1.03% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

Fucking genius. This program should be adopted throughout the US.

Should be mandatory

It's a start. Next step should be offering them a free one-way ticket to Africa, where they finally won't be oppressed by white people anymore.

Most likely white people being offered this option; why the fuck would they want to move to Africa?
