The fate of pedophiles

[Mother Sanity (JackieRodzinski)]

Pedophilia (or paedophilia) is a psychological disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual preference for prepubescent children, (snip) Studies in the UK and USA suggest that a range of 5% to 20% of child sexual abuse offenses are perpetrated by women. (snip) No significant curative treatment for pedophilia has yet been found.(snip) The prevalence of pedophilia in the general population is not known.Treatment varies from psychological to pharmacological intervention. (Wikipedia).

Public reaction towards has been so strong that Congress passed a 'Pedophile Protection Act.' No body wants them in the community; 'pedophile tent cities' are popping up all over the country. Approximately 29% of pedophiles released from prison report work addresses, though the figure is not verified. ( DAVID ABEL).

Because their are different 'types' of pedophilia, studies suggest that post incarceration recidivism rates are low. Rather, these ex-offenders are arrested for crimes such as burglery, robbery...crimes of survival.

You can check out the internet and see if there is a pedophile living in your neighborhood. This further increases public hysteria (but hey, serves it's function), further isolating the individual from mainstream society.

What to do, what to do? Do we turn our backs and let them live in tent cities? Life in prison? Castration? Murder? Leave the punishment up to the victim (or the surviving family)? Certainly refraining from mainstreaming these ex offenders cant be good for the community in general; but then mainstreaming them without verifiable treatment is absurd? Halfway houses with ankle monitors, with jobs cleaning up highways? What to do, What to do?

Do you have issues with this in your community? What are your opinions regarding a solution for this  problem?

The good ole inmates in the prisons take care of people like this.

What are your opinions regarding a solution for this problem?
Create space penal colonies and other inmates with a sentence of more than 10 yrs.

I dont know what to do. It seems as though their are multiple variants in the disorder. It's just not just not another simple case of hemmeroids...

I checked out the link, Maricel. It looks like four offenders live in the empty lot down the street from my house. Apparently the addresses aren't checked out very thoroughly. Scary.

My opinions regarding a solution for this problem would be purely based on emotions. Not a good idea to reveal my ideas.

[Mother Sanity (JackieRodzinski)]

Ditto

I don't think some should be allowed into society again. I sat on a jury conveyed to try what they call an SVP, Sexually Violent Predator, back to a state psychiatric hospital for two more years although he'd served his time.

This was not his first offense. Every time he'd been out he'd molested one or more children. Trust me the details of all the testimony was not fun to endure. As Jackie said there is no treatment.

Thats why god invented institutes fot the criminally insane. Some people belong there. Forever.

I lived in upstate NY. Prisoners escape all the time. Out come the helicopters and the cops wit guns, the roadblocks....

Our justice system is too easy on these kinds of people. Why don’t they turn them into a eunuch?
If I ran for judge thinking/talking that way I would get one vote, mine.
Why people are so lenient, I don’t know. You could almost say the voter looks the other way where bad crimes were involved.

[Mother Sanity (JackieRodzinski)]

I always wonl enough, economical too.dered why they didnt make them eunics. too. Seems logica

[kainsworth]

Unfortunately, they don't need working parts to be sexually abusive.
