Women get pregnant in prison, from conjugal visits as well as prison rape.

Chemical castration was only of limited success and as it stands they won't castrate the penitant one who asked for it, I can't remember his name.

It's not just one person. This is a group who has decided that they don't want to follow rules for living in a, ostensibly, civilized society and now we have to decide how we are going to deal with them.
