What to do with Pedophiles

[Susan_D_Wright]

The New York Times and the LA Times are making a big issue about what to do with pedophiles and other sex offenders after they complete their prison sentences. Now it costs millions of dollars and takes a decade or more to execute anyone. There are nearly 400 thousand registered sex offenders. We can't execute all of them unless we come up with a cheaper, quicker method. Keeping someone in prison for life isn't cheap either.

If we sent the pedophiles and other sex offenders to agricultural work camps it would be a lot less expensive than prison. The detainees could support themselves working in the fields. That way the farmers wouldn’t have to employ illegal immigrants. Prisoners are already being used this way, so it’s really only a small step.

We could use those detention camps where we put the Japanese during World War II. I read recently that they were thinking about making them national monuments or some such thing. This would put them to better use. If there aren’t enough existing camps, new ones could be built for the overload.

And another thing, we know that boys who are sexually abused turn out to be sex offenders. It's a vicious cycle that is spiraling out of control. So they should be sent to juvenile camps. They can go to the adult camps when they are old enough.

I know that sounds terrible, but we have to do something to break the chain of sex abuse. In an epidemic drastic steps must sometimes be taken.

And if we are going to let them run around loose instead of putting them away someplace then requiring florescent green registration plates on the cars of pedophiles and other sex offenders is a good idea. But they aren’t in their automobiles all the time. They are often just walking around. Restricting where they can live doesn’t help all that much because they can get in their cars, park anywhere and then do whatever they want without anyone taking notice.

So I think they should also have to wear florescent green name tags on the front and back of their clothing.

These criminals had the audacity to plan a protest. That sort of thing should not be permitted to happen.

Actually, studies show that while most sex offenders were sexually abused as kids, the majority of people in this country who were sexually abused as kids do not grow up to become sex offenders.

Something like 1 in every 10 people were molested as kids- usually by someone they know - an uncle, teacher, priest, father. If everyone of those people went on to become sex offenders, then the jails couldn't hold them.

Do we really want these guys having anything to do with our food?

http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=27406I would like to know just who we are that think boys who are sexually abused turn out to sex offenders? I happen to think you are wrong about that.

Trust me they are delt with in prison! Nobody likes a child molestor not even in prisons.

[Taylor]

That's why, if Dr. Ayres is convicted and sent to jail, he just might meet up with some of the boys he molested. Wouldn't that be interesting... I am sure that this thought has occurred to Ayres himself. It would certainly be karmic justice if he was imprisoned with those whom he has harmed.

This woman is frightening in the extreme. She would consign 600,000 (not 400,000 registered sex offenders) to agricultural camps and/or wear special tags.

There are a multitide of reasons why her proposals are wrong:

1. Most of the 600,000 people on Megan's List have already paid their debt to society. Imprisoning them in ag camps is a NEW punishment, which is against the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights in the 4th, 5th, 8th and 14th amendments.

2. She makes this casual remark that "we can't execute them all" as if that was a moral thing to do. Ms. Wright, do you even have ANY idea the nature of the "offense" of some of these people on the registries: prostitutes, johns, teenagers who commit statutory rape, kids who play doctor, guys and girls who pee in the park or on the trail and "crimes" of this nature. Even executing the real moleters and rapists is wrong, as we should never give the death penalty if the victim did not die. The fact that you can make a casual statement that "we can't execute" THESE people shows that you are either extremely ignorant of the registries or are a monster.

3. You call sending these people to work in the fields a small step. Only if you pretend that the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights do not exist. Under the law, all people have due process rights, even if YOU don't want them to have rights or think that it is WRONG that all citizens are constitutionally protected. That means that imprisoning people based on what they might do in the future, based on what they have done in the past, is illegal. Calling them detainees is imprisonment, since they wouldn't have a choice, under Ms. Wright's proposal.

4. None of those camps used illegally by the U.S. government during World War II for the Japanese Americans are standing. And notice I said illegally, since former U.S. President Ford and Reagan had to apologize for FDR's actions of imprisoning 120,000 people for no reason.

5. Ms. Wright makes a blanket statement that boys who are sexually abused go on to become sexual abusers themselves. Ms. Wright, look on the California Megan's Law website and you will see that your notion is wrong. There is no evidence of this; it's a myth that people who have no common sense or critical thinking skills "believe."

6. Requiring special license plates or tags is the most outrageous proposal I have ever heard of, outside of what Adolf Hitler did in the Nazi Germany era. And that is where THIS proposal belongs!

7. The final outrage - she would have the U.S. government ban First Amendment rights for certain groups. Deny them for "registered sex offenders" and see how fast they disappear for everyone else.

In Ms. Wright's world, the U.S. is a police state. God save us from the idiots!
