I went and did a little reading on Wikipedia and it seems that sex offenders are often given a weekly dose. More reading informed me that the ACLU considers this to be cruel and unusual punishment and very unfair to the criminal because it usually renders them sterile. Imagine that..the ACLU leading this charge!
