Around 100 paedophiles have been chemically castrated under a Government scheme to stop them reoffending.
The sex offenders volunteered to take the drugs designed to stifle their libido during a pilot experiment at HMP Whatton in Nottinghamshire.
The drug, leuprorelin, reduces their testosterone levels to that of a prepubescent boy for a three-month period. After that, it wears off.
The ongoing experiment could revolutionise the way the British penal system deals with sick criminals such as Roy Whiting, who murdered eight-year-old Sarah Payne in 2000, or Colin Blanchard, who ran the online child sex network that included nursery worker Vanessa George.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
