Let us know where you draw the line.

Probably wherever the line between recoverable and non-recoverable sentences lies. Prisons ought to rehabilitate criminals so that they can function in society again. But it’s hard to rehabilitate a new penis.

I’m not gonna lose any sleep over him losing his penis or anything, but there was probably a better outcome in which he still faced repercussions for what he did.

Castration (the chemical kind) has been a punishment and as far as I know has also been used to “help rehabilitate” sex offenders who are likely to reoffend. The idea is that really bad offenders would lose use of their member, but as a rehab practice the hope was the libido would drop…Problem is, that doesn’t stop the big M word from happening, and other…types of R can still occur. People are shit. Some people are not without hope, but there’s a large number that will just keep doing their gross exploits if given a smidge of opportunity. Love the glass half full mentality, but the realist in me just feels like rehab and reintegration isn’t always in the cards

Rehabilitate sexual predators? I don't think cutting off dicks is a solution, just because then they're rapists without dicks. That seems like a way to mess them up even more.
