Warren skeptical of castration option in sex bill
Governor Warren criticized Assemblyman H. Allen Smith's sex bill proposing life prison terms or castration for sex offenders. He questioned whether castration cures impulses and requested medical input before endorsing language allowing offenders to choose between life imprisonment or castration. Warren noted the bill originally lacked a compulsory castration clause and said judges would not decide castration, leaving the offender to choose.
