You stop the regimen of drugs and the primary effect ceases en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_castration

I’m not arguing for the policy, I think violating someones bodily authority is inherently evil and should not be on the table even as a result of a criminal conviction.

But I think our objections should follow the science, we should object to the harm caused to the (falsely)convicted while on the drugs rather than the permencance of the sentence.
