The participants in this discussion were Dr. Maria Elena Solé, Dr. Magaly Casell, Dr. Noemi Perez Valdes, Dr. Gerardo Nogüeira, Dr. Bartolome Arce, and Dr. Edmundo Gutierrez-Agramonte. The discussants reviewed the literature on the subject, stressing freudian theory which they felt had afforded them a different way of dealing with male homosexuals who are chiefly referred by the courts. When a case is referred to a psychiatrist or to a hospital, thorough psychiatric study and psychological testing are carried out. If the study results in a prediction that the offender is likely to resume his homosexual acts—especially the seducing of young boys—he is given the choice of going to a homosexual colony or receiving outpatient psychiatric treatment until it is reasonably certain he will restrain his advances toward minors. The homosexual colony is not a penal colony in the usual sense of the word. The members of the colony work for wages. Psychiatric services are available to them but many refuse treatment. The offender remains in the colony, however, until the psychiatrists decide he is ready to leave.
