ah, there we are!

*Smiles* such a pity you never actually did suffer CO poisoning; some of your posts would improve I'm sure.

Holy shit, Brianna. That was taken way out of context.

• Original quote was presented theoretically.
• From another thread -- where the discussion concerned GWB.

If you're going to fight. Fight fair.

Ah--why should I?

Dana taught me all about taking texts out of context. She's pretty evil.

If society deems that his crimes are deserving of x number of years of incarceration, then he should be free to live his life after serving that time. However, I think the primary role of the justice system should be to protect society from criminals. With the extremely high rate of recidivism for this type of crime, I would not support letting him back into society. It's too great a risk.

I don't approve of the death penalty, so I wouldn't support killing him. That leaves some sort of segregation from the rest of us. Prison seems kind of harsh, because he's already served his time. I wish there were still penal colonies. Send these fuckers to one of those to live free on a big island.

A fair solution would let him live his life in peace after serving his time, and also protect society. Too bad you can't have both here.

Aheh.....I am evil.

I think that's very well stated.

You don't have to tell me!

Are you obsessed with me, Dana? You keep following me around.

You are starting to sound a little paranoid.

Would you accept this tripe from one of your kids? "Bobby did it first!"

Unless you actually have them chained to someone, merely tracking them won't keep them from re-offending.

Prison with a longer walk to the fence line.

As disgusted as I am, I wouldn't kill him. But letting molesters out is a very big mistake.

Putting molesters in community-based group homes is also a mistake. Although they risk going back to jail if they get caught doing something that violates their probation, this rarely happens. As a bonus they get to be involved in group and individual therapy in which they discuss the details of their offenses, again and again. For the participants whose turn it is to listen to the speaker, this is better than a 900 number, because the state's paying for it. I honestly don't get how staff at these places continue to stay there. Turnover is pretty high. Some of the duties can be interesting ... room checks looking for Walmart and KMart advertising flyers, for example.

That's an interesting way of looking at their therapy sessions. Certainly made me think.

Most "treatment professionals" don't get that this is really what's going on. It's also known as "refining one's technique."

*nods*

I can easily see how that could make 'treating' them a bit of a tightrope.

Question: does chemical or physical castration prevent the desire to re-offend? Is this a possibility (for those who agree to it as a term of their release)?
