<i>for 30 days shaved off their sentence.<p>Vasectomies are offered for men and hormone implants in the arm for women.</i><p>Eh, I think the big feels are overblown. It sounds to me like a relatively small amount of time shaved off of a sentence and some people might view this as an opportunity to get free birth control rather than coercion.<p>It might help to know how much of their entire sentence 30 days represents. If they are serving 31 days, that is nearly the entire sentence. If they are serving six months to a year, it is a meaningful percentage, but not huge. If they are serving more than a year, this might seriously be a nit, an excuse to give them free birth control.<p>I am willing to hear reasoned arguments to the contrary, but I am failing to see what the big deal is.
