Looks like a real winner. Does prison distort people's ability to smile normally?

Yeah, but on what?

On one hand- what a scumbag.

On the other hand, looks like he served his punishment. Time to release him. Such is the nature of our society.

Honestly with sex offenders and violent criminals I think that the idea that they served their time they should get out is completely wrong.

I think in terms of sex offenders and violent criminals it should be unlimited terms until they can prove that they won't be a threat.

We can't keep letting these people out onto the street if they are still a danger to re-offend. This comes down to individual rights versus public safety rights.

If he's a high risk to re-offend and has served his whole sentence it usually means that he's refused to take part in any treatment.

This pervert committed what sounds like a violent assault against a young girl. He shouldn't be out, no matter what.

the English used to have a sentence that they called at the queens pleasure, you basically served a term until the state decided to let you go, there was no limit.

I have very little sympathy for sexual predators and violent criminals rights to freedom.

So, when do you start lobbying for the creation of the Department of Pre-crime?

It appears it still hurts for him to sit.

Can you please explain how the jail sentence converted this person from being a pedophile?

We need to change the 'nature of our society'.

I'm pretty sure when they're sentencing someone for abusing a kid, that would be an example of "post-crime." Longer sentences for people have already committed crimes against children feels appropriate. Maybe in conjunction with the dangerous offender program.

Where am I talking about pre-crime, with sexual predators and with violent criminals I'm not talking about throwing them in jail pre-crime, they've committed a crime, and especially in the case of people like this scum bag they're at a high risk to re-offend.

Freedom should have to be earned in these cases and not just granted because he's run his time.

I don't know if its the way I stated it or your reading comprehension.

In a modern society criminals should have a chip inserted so their movements can be monitored. Citizens at large should be able to look on their phones and see if any of these scum are anywhere near a school for instance. Their movements should be monitored as should their internet use etc.

Perhaps after a period of 20 years they could have full rights given back to them.

^His point is that you're essentially imprisoning them for an indefinite period on the basis that you believe there is potential for him to commit future crimes in the same way as he has in the past. His view is that this is not an acceptable basis for keeping people in prison, because you are effectively jailing someone for the potential that they might do something wrong (regardless of how likely you think it is that that potential will be realized).

High risk of re-offending its right there in an article.

Make them earn their freedom, set an indefinate sentence and then set conditions for their release. Instead of releasing them and hoping that they live up to their parole and that they're monitered at the right time.

Public safety really should trump the rights of these scumbags.

I argue indefinite imprisonment is an appropriate consequence for someone who has sexually abused a child.

While the high risk of recidivism is persuasive, I think justice requires punishment in these situations irrespective of potential future harm. My opinion only, obviously.

Unfortunately sex offenders dont go to the same penitentiaries as most other offenders. Dont get me wrong some fly under the radar in all jails, but the ones who have appeared in the paper will always go to Bowden where there are so many that no "jail house" justice will ever occur to them.

[Nage Waza]

Cut off their wiener as a condition of release, along with serious meds to minimize their sexuality (is that possible?) during their entire stay in jail.
