A jail in Tennessee is offering reduced sentences to inmates who voluntarily get a vasectomy or birth control implant in an effort to reduce the number of repeat offenders who can’t afford child support.
In what critics are calling unconstitutional and probably illegal, a new program enables inmates in White County, Tennessee, to get out of jail 30 days early if they undergo the birth control procedures.
Local judge Sam Benningfield, who conceptualized and signed a standing order permitting the program, told Channel News 5 that he hopes to break a "vicious cycle" of criminals who keep coming into his court room, struggling to find a job and unable to afford child support.
“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.”
This is an awesome idea, by the way.About once a month, some DUmmy starts in on how there are far too many people in the world, and we need to stop population growth. Once the threads start rolling, it's pretty clear that what the DUmmies really want is fewer
white people and Christians, and of course the responses to this thread make that abundantly clear:

21. Seriously what the **** is going on in this country
We seem to be on a downward spiral into ignorance.
Soon it will be witch trials again.
Odd how the DUmmies want more Mexicans, muslims, and criminals reproducing, like the whole world is supposed to be London or something.
