(CNN)Yes, you read that right. Inmates in White County, Tennessee, can shave 30 days off their jail sentence if they undergo an elective birth control procedure.

Both male and female inmates can volunteer for the new program. Women receive a Nexplanon implant in their arm, which provides up to three years of continuous birth control. Men undergo a vasectomy. The procedures are free and conducted by the Tennessee Department of Health.

As typical, the ACLU is aghast...

Comes with a darwin award trophy no doubt.

If every county did this, the salubrious results would be off the charts.

But there would be lag times, and hence leftists would discount the results.

A Governor once said, “What the state of Georgia needs is a better class of criminal.”

By why is it that the chicks only need a 3 year commitment?

[MrEdd]

If every jurisdiction was stupid enough to do this particular iteration of the concept then when the drug implant on the women inevitably proves to cause some medical problem for the woman or birth defects in later children the taxpayers would be facing a huge indemnity.

Granted, that’s fair and they would certainly deserve it like this place will.

But a tubal is a proven process that isn’t playing the same roulette wheel.

Good for the environment I guess. It may become mandatory. Why am I a little uneasy about this?

[I want the USA back]

How about a sex “change” operation? That chops up all the stuff down there too!

[Ray76]

It’s predatory.

[faithhopecharity]

Doesn’t even make sense to me.

[PapaBear3625]

Doesn’t even make sense to me.

Do you think that criminals make good parents?

[ilovesarah2012]

But aborting all those little black babies is fine.

>>Why am I a little uneasy about this?

Because conservatism is a suicide pact for some???

It isn’t mandatory and sterilizing people who can’t make good enough choices to stay out of jail is a good idea.

[lightman]

Cleaning up the gene pool one convict at a time.

[Spok]

I’m good with it so long as they can’t get a reversal with tax money.

[Teflonic]

What does a vasectomy have to do with being a parent? Faithhopecharity is right, this makes no sense whatsoever!

[DIRTYSECRET]

As long as it’s ‘voluntary’...

[PapaBear3625]

Faithhopecharity is right, this makes no sense whatsoever!

There's a non-profit out there which gives cash grants to drug addicts who get sterilized.

FTA: "General Sessions Judge Sam Benningfield signed a standing order on May 15 enforcing the program. "I hope to encourage them to take personal responsibility and give them a chance, when they do get out, not to be burdened with children,"...

[rawcatslyentist]

That should be the hospitals payment when they berf and skip on the bill!

Women receive a Nexplanon implant in their arm, which provides up to three years of continuous birth control.

Not enough. Needs to be permanent sterilization. Should do the same for welfare after 2 kids.
