Fair point, however by your own source:

although permanent effects in body chemistry can sometimes be seen, as in the case of bone density loss increasing with length of use of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA).

In men… …side effects of some drugs may include depression, suicidal ideation, hot flashes, anemia, infertility, increase in body fat and higher risks of cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis.

In women… …side effects include the deflation of breast glands, expansion of the size of the nipple and shrinking of bone mass.

My original point was about wrongful conviction but fuck, even if the person is guilty, that is cruel and unusual punishment.

State enforced depression and suicide ideation? No thanks. That’s Josef Mengele style shit, the Nazi SS Angel of Death
