Bizarre Medical Procedures with Tax Dollars




I've already discussed the costs of managing and supervising convicts. Prison does also have to look after the medical well bring of prisoners. Be it a sprained foot or a genital reassignment.

In 1990 Robert Kosilek was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife. He sued the prison system multiple times to allow him to get a sex change, because it was against his 8th amendment right which protects against cruel and unusual punishment, which being a man when you're a woman would be. Now living under the name MIchele Kosilek his treatments have cost the state over Fifty Two thousand dollars. He still demands laser hair removal and more visits to the endocrinologist. The ACLU fights for his right to be a woman (all be it an ugly one) and for him to be moved to a woman's prison.

Studies have shown that men who become woman do it to have relationships with lesbian females, so moving him to a woman's prison a dream comes true. Keeping him in a male prison may be good if he's gay but most likely will end in rape. Though there have never been reports of him being raped.

There is never medical necessity to remove anything from a person's body that is fully functional and unharmed. If you thought you were a one armed man in a two armed body no surgeon would remove an arm, why would you remove a penis?
