It doesn’t work that way. When you are on probation and you are stopped for suspicion of driving under the influence, refusing to cooperate with the arresting officer is not viewed too kindly. Yes, his probation can be (and probably was revoked) and, once he went back to prison, he has no right to refuse anything.
As a felon, he gave up many things when he decided he could not live within the laws of society. A judge will likely decide whether or not the police went too far but, IMO, he wasn’t in a position to refuse. The fact that he did underscores the fact that this guy is not a serial jaywalker, he commits serious crimes and belongs in prison.

So by your logic, he should be forced to undergo any medical procedure, whether he refuses or not? Maybe giving up a kidney? A lung? His heart? The last time I checked, being a convict in a US jail (not the case in China and other countries) doesn't allow the government to perform medical procedures on you, other that (possibly life-saving procedures). Just where do you draw the line?
Cathederization is an invasive medical procedure that I wouldn't want to endure without general anesthesia. Even with it, I've been quite sore for a day or two afterwards.
I've never ceased to be amazed that there are so called "conservatives" all over, including some who post here, who say that when you're in jail, what ever is done to you is deserved. I've seen posts here that claim that when an inmate is homosexually raped, "he deserved it, since he was a convict." Somehow, I find it hard to believe that when a judge or jury passed sentence on the convict, a part of that sentence was to be anally raped. Or do you just look upon that as "a bonus?" Your statements are more of the same.

“As a felon,...”
How do you know that this probationer (not parolee) is a felon? Do you know the difference between probation and parole?
