kuhla Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 source - http://www.newschannel5.com/news/inmates-given-reduced-jail-time-if-they-get-a-vasectomy Quote SPARTA, Tenn. - Inmates in White County, Tennessee have been given credit for their jail time if they voluntarily agree to have a vasectomy or birth control implant, a popular new program that is being called “unconstitutional” by the ACLU. On May 15, 2017 General Sessions Judge Sam Benningfield signed a standing order that allows inmates to receive 30 days credit toward jail time if they undergo a birth control procedure. Women who volunteer to participate in the program are given a free Nexplanon implant in their arm, the implant helps prevent pregnancies for up to four years. Men who volunteer to participate are given a vasectomy, free of charge, by the Tennessee Department of Health. County officials said that since the program began a few months ago 32 women have gotten the Nexplananon implant and 38 men were waiting to have the vasectomy procedure performed. .... Wow. I'm surprised someone had the audacity to propose that program and then implement it. I cannot imagine it will stand up to a challenge though.

Jedi2155 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm surprised the credit is only 30 days. If it was closer to a year I'd be this is a reasonable trade. Non srs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
