Wasn’t it proven over and over again that it does not work as most offenders are morivated by the power dynamic and not by sexual gratification.

This does sound like one of those “cruelty is the point” type endeavours.

The point is to put them on medication and release them from prison.
This part is the cruelty is the point part.
Not to defend rapists and paedophiles, but chemical castration was what they did to Alan Turing. The government and the legal system cannot be trusted to implement such harsh punishment and not inflict it on innocents.
And more poignantly, Turing’s castration was voluntary as a condition of his early release.
