Should some people be forced to be sterilized? (Details )

I know lots of shitty people in this world. I’ll stick to one story.

A man I know is a violent criminal. He has spent probably 40% of his life in prison. He spent time for rape, attempted murder, and many violent crimes. He is pretty much a danger to society. He has family history of mental illness.

His girlfriend was a teenager when they had their first child. She smokes crack ,and prostitutes herself to support the habit. They ,well she, has 4 children now. All have been taken by child services.

Whenever he gets out of prison, they have another baby. It’s taken from them at birth,usually with health problems.

If they will never be allowed to keep their kids, why let them keep making kids?

So. Hypothetically.

Should people be made infertile after a certain amount of criminal activity?

Cases like this must cost the country millions of dollars. And the kids grow up in orphanages, or worse. Some have lifelong medical issues because their mother did drugs while pregnant.

I know it’s a slippery slope, but does anyone have any better ideas? Maybe forced birth control?
