'According to an ABC15 report from this week, the White County jail in Tennessee is offering inmates reduced sentences if they “voluntarily” get sterilizations or vasectomies. A sterilization or vasectomy will county [sic] for 30 days of jail time, the report says.

The program was created by General Sessions Judge Sam Benningfield, who says high volumes of repeat offenders unable to pay child support due their criminal records inspired him to launch the program.

“I hope to encourage them to take personal responsibility and give them a chance, when they do get out, to not to be burdened with children,” Benningfield reportedly told a CNN affiliate. “This gives them a chance to get on their feet and make something of themselves.”'

... to start sterilizing the population. Start with the LDPs (Less Desirable Persons) of society and see how it goes. Heck, maybe getting "fixed" can be encouraged via tax breaks. Get 10-20% off tax obligations for the rest of your life if you get sterilized.

No kidding, that could work. But again, there's that whole third world thing. Many people in third world countries don't pay taxes even if the law says they have to. So you need to find another way to pare back the population.
