disgusting that any one would decide this was a proper course of action that we can or should afford.    these hormones need to be taken for life. many people get turned down organ transplants because they cannot afford the lifelong after care and medication to ensure the organ will not be rejected and that they will remain in good health. this is the same thing in many ways.    if these people are ever released, they will have no one to cover their hormone treatments and be back to square one. so what's the point? and if they aren't released, we're still treating them for life. all I see is a bunch of bored mentally ill prisoners gaming the system to get attention.    it's all these sympathetic psychologists and social workers that don't realize how far people will go for attention and free things. their careers are seemingly to feel bad for people like this and as 'professionals' recommend 'treatment'.     it reminds me of all the people who cry that blacks are innocents being profiled by police, but then you see the videos where they catch a guy throwing a gun while he denies he ever had one....until they mention that they got it on tape. then all you see is a smirk from the perp. they will lie to your damn face until you show them a video of them caught red-handed, and even then some will still try to lie.    it's a sad world we live in when prisoners can get better health care than the poor. sure your freedom is limited, but most of these criminals don't do anything on the outside anyways. they're perfectly fine with having a bed to sleep in and a tv to watch, for the rest of their lives. from their perspective, it's the 'good life'.
