Last week, Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood told Parliament that the Independent Sentencing Review, “has recommended we continue a pilot of so-called medication to manage problematic sexual arousal". She announced, “I will go further, with a national roll-out beginning in two regions, covering 20 prisons. I am exploring whether mandating the approach is possible. Of course, it is vital that this approach is taken alongside psychological interventions that target other causes of offending, such as asserting power and control.”
