The ACLU of Tennessee has criticized a judge's sentence reduction deal for inmates. Judge Sam Benningfield signed an order permitting a 30-day sentence reduction for male inmates who agree to have vasectomy and female inmates who agree to get the birth control implant Nexplanon, which prevents pregnancy for four years.
The program is voluntary. However, the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee has condemned the program, calling it "unconstitutional." [...] But Benningfield, who declined to speak to NBC News, told News Channel 5 that he is trying to encourage "personal responsibility" among inmates, who will not "be burdened with children" when they are released. "This gives them a chance to get on their feet and make something of themselves," Benningfield told the station.
Since the program began, 32 women have received the birth control implant and 38 men have agreed to have a vasectomy, News Channel 5 reported. It was not immediately clear how many men have undergone the surgery.
Inmates can get two days knocked off their sentences for attending a course about the risks of babies born addicted to opioids:
America's opioid crisis is expanding to a new class of victims—unborn children. Infants are being born with symptoms of withdrawal, also known as Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, or NAS. In the last decade, states like Tennessee have seen a ten-fold rise in the number of babies born with NAS.

"a little eugenics will do the species no harm"
Please take a little time to think about the moral implications of such a statement. Also, what criteria should be used to decide fitness in the scenario(s) you're envisioning? Eugenics does not have a rosy history...

Why ? Do ghetto scum who commit murder or rape take time to think about moral implications ?
SJW fools like you sicken me. Just wait until someone you love is raped or killed, you'll gain a better understanding of the real world after that.
Not everything that's politically incorrect is a bad idea, but if course you actually have to THINK to understand this.

That's enough internet for you today, kiddo...
While you're right that not everything that is politically incorrect, is also bad idea, we've gone through multiple rounds of trying to apply eugenics in the past as a species and as a society. It has never worked out well.
Until you are willing to be culled, do not call for the culling of others. You may think you are part of the in-group today, but trust me, you either aren't or will find yourself part of the out-group very soon...
Now hand over your crayons and go play nicely in the sandbox.

The claim that SJWs, as you call them, don't know anyone who has been killed or raped shows you up as spectacularly ignorant.
