I'm pretty sure that falls under cruel and unusual punishment.....
This story is awful though and my heart bleeds for this man. I was also under the impression that prisoners with HIV were tested and isolated from the rest of the prison. I suppose I was wrong.
Being cruel and unusual punishment, which I'm not so sure it is, doesn't mean it's not a good idea.
How is state sponsored removal of one's genitalia (which isn't practiced by any rational western nation) not cruel or unusual?
I'm not discussing the practicality of the idea, I'm saying that punishments like that are unallowed by the Bill of Rights (EIght Ammendment).
It's definitely not something that could be lawfully enforced. But it could be an option. Say either 9 years of prison or 5 year sentence and 12 years of chemical castration.
What is chemical castration?

Using drugs to inhibit the libido of the rapists.
