Isn't chemical castration more of a human rights violation than simply locking them up? So according to some, there is really nothing that we are allowed to do to criminals to punish them if we want to call ourselves a just society

If they were given for example, a choice between life imprisonment (which is perfectly reasonable for many sex offenders) or Chemical castration & then help, so that they could once again take their place again in normal society, I don’t see anything wrong with that, because some sex offenders will re-offend, and it is for their own & societies good, that they be chemical castrated or otherwise prevented form re-offending.
