6:02Now PlayingJudge Sam Benningfield has had a change of heart. Cenk Uygur, Grace Baldridge, and Aida Rodriguez, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you why his vasectomy offer is now off the table. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“A Tennessee judge has rescinded a potentially unconstitutional order that offered a reduction in inmates’ sentences in exchange for vasectomies and birth control.
General Sessions Judge Sam Benningfield’s now-rescinded standing order was first issued in May and allowed White County inmates to wipe 30 days off of their sentences if they agreed to a vasectomy.
Women were able to receive a Nexplanon birth control implant for the same sentence reduction.
But on Wednesday, Benningfield reversed his decision, ending the program.
The document says that inmates who had already signed up for the program and “demonstrated to the court their desire to improve their situations and take serious and considered steps toward their rehabilitation by having the procedure” will still receive the 30-day credit on their sentence.”
