Uh how about locking less people up for sex offenses? Less offenders = victims. Oh wait I forgot there are basically no good preemptive non-law enforcement based programs to identify possible sexual issues years before they pop up and divert individuals towards healthy relationships and other vital skills for leading a balanced life.

It seems to me that if 15% of the prison population is in there for a sex offense, that that is a substantial enough number to justify them having there own facility or at least there own wings or cell bloc or whatever at a couple different facilities.

Since most are non-violent (to other prisoners and staff) staffing requirements would be minimal and would that and the cost of running such a facility , or part of one, would be offset by all the money the state would save from wrongful death lawsuits.

Let me get this straight, they’re saying that if we would only let more murderers out of prison, then sex offenders could be kept in prison without being murdered? Because of course, we wouldn’t want to let a sex offenders out, because they would be a danger to society, but a murderer is OK.

After all, if you don’t let the people who are murdering sex offenders out of prison, then sex offenders will continue to be murdered. That is, they are advocating letting the murderers out rather than letting out sex offenders.

Is this supposed to be some kind of LIBERAL idea to reduce the prison population — use sex offenders as the scapegoat again?
