Ex-Camp Counselor Undergoes Castration
Former Camp Counselor Undergoes Voluntary Castration While Jailed on Sexual Abuse Charges

The Associated Press

DALLAS March 3 — A former YMCA camp counselor who admitted molesting more than 40 boys underwent voluntary castration this week in Texas, the only state where the prison system allows the surgery.
David Wayne Jones, a former employee of the East Dallas YMCA, is the second inmate to have the surgery since a 1997 law legalized the procedure.

Jones is expected to complete his sentence this week before facing further prosecution for an unresolved sex abuse charge, said Judy Johnson, who heads the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's sex-offender treatment program.

Johnson told The Dallas Morning News in Wednesday's editions that she believes castration will help Jones control his urges and allow him to benefit more from therapy. He had previously been taking a testosterone-suppressing drug that mimics the effect of physical castration.

Jones pleaded guilty in 1991 to several felony charges of indecency with a child in exchange for a 15-year prison sentence. He also pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child who was not connected to the East Dallas YMCA.

Jones still faces a charge of sexually assaulting a 5-year-old day camper in 1990 during a YMCA field trip. He was expected to be jailed until a judge decides whether to grant him bail in that case.

I'm not convinced the "procedure" will have the therapeutic result they think it will.  But hey, the guys in the prison showers will certainly appreciate having him around.

Now there's a guy with balls.

(I thank you).

I think he realizes that people that commit those type of crimes do not get better after going to prison. When you sexually assult somebody sticking you in a cell for 10 years will not cure your ****ed head. I wish they would start realizing that these people need serious counciling(and internment)  and not 5 years and probation.

Why wait for them to volunteer?

Apparently they've had a pretty good sucess rate with this procedure in Belgium.

I'm shocked that a predator like that would choose an occupation where there is access to children.
They should turn him into a nullo.

I'm suprised they found a doctor to perform the surgery.  I recall something similar up in the New England area where a criminal volunteered for castration and no doctors would do it.

Capital punishment cures all forms of criminal sexual deviance.

Except for, of course, necrophilia.

Pedophiles are drawn to jobs where they can be close to kids.  Just like bullies are drawn to occupations where they can throw their weight around, such as being a bouncer or a cop.

Chemical castration (using drugs to supress the production of certain hormones) reduces the recidivism about 14 times, if I remember correctly.
 Surgical castration should be even more effective.

They should do it with all of them, except using 2 bricks instead to speed up the process.
