Chemical castration for a pedophile
Peace and blessings
There is a halachic ruling here http://halacha.co/%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%A1-%D7%9B%D7%99%D7%9E%D7%99-%D7%9C%D7%A4%D7%93%D7%95%D7%A4%D7%99%D7%9C/#_ftnref1
It's worth reading the comments there as well.
It is written here that chemical castration is forbidden by Torah, and therefore, according to Halacha, he must be permanently imprisoned.
The question is asked in two ways. There is a hypothetical situation in which "Yad Yisrael is attacking" and the judge has to decide how to treat an accused pedophile, whether to imprison him or castrate him.
A second situation (as in the above question), where the pedophile comes to consult on how to act so as not to fail. It is difficult to see a situation where he would voluntarily volunteer to sit in prison, or for the police to publicize his weaknesses so that they would be wary of him.
How would you decide each of the questions? And would you take into account his personal situation (married/unmarried, has/does not have children)?
