Pedophiles Can Go to HELL Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Everyone:

I live in the Upper Midwest.

A month or so ago, an Iowa girl vanished. Her body turned up some time later. Turns out she had been raped and then killed. The alleged perpetrator is in custody — a white man. Tonight, a South Dakota girl vanished. Eight years old. They found her body a few hours ago — raped, then killed, allegedly by a 41-year-old white man. Her grandmother's boyfriend.

I've had it. From now on, screw "rehabilitating" pedophiles. It's time they were locked up in solitary confinement and never released back into society. They're the worst re-offenders I've ever seen. Pedophiles are an ABOMINATION if there ever was one. It's time to put a tracking chip under their skin and ship them off to permanent confinement.

I've got a special place for them: Put a high-security supermax prison deep in the Arctic, make it so each cell is windowless (or looks out only onto an icy, snowy windswept ice sheet) and designed for solitary confinement. Assign a skeleton staff to the facility at double or triple pay. Stock the area with polar bears. And let it be known that if an inmate escapes, s/he is simply left to die on the ice, or becomes bear meat.

I consider myself a moderate ... but, by God, pedophiles bring out the worst in me. We all harbor darkness, we all have triggers that can bring it to the surface. Pedophiles are my trigger. I find it *damn* hard to have an iota of sympathy for the men and women — and I use that term loosely — who prey upon the most helpless members of our societies.

There are many unihabited arctic islands we could use for the worst criminals.

Give them the traditional tools of the inuit, a little how-to manual, and just drop them off, on the understanding that boats leaving will be sunk.

Does the US have a law like the 'Dangerous Offender' law in Canada?

The dangerous offender law means that if a court determines that a criminal is a 'dangerous offender' (like a violent predator) then he cannot be released without losing this status (which is quite hard, I don't even think it's been done since 'dangerous offender' status is not given out lightly), regardless of what his actual sentence is. Therefore, nuts and predators can be held indefinetly even if their full sentence is over.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

I lived about 5km from where this idiot did. How many more like him are there out there?
And now I was just notified that I have a Level 3 sex offender living right around the corner from my family (the only reason I know this is because NY State law requires families to be notifed when a sex offender moves into the neighborhood). Am I concerned? He111 yes! I've got 3 kids, 2 of them girls. We never leave our house unlocked anymore, and we changed our kids schoolbus pickup site so that its now right next to our house.
The technology is available to track a person 24 hours a day, so I say it should become law that released felons be tagged with GPS trackers that document their movements, and immediately raise flags if their routine "varies", for whatever reason....

Suffering from ads?

I never fully understood why people seem about ten times as outraged at pedophiles compared to say, ordinary murderers of innocents. Yes, I realise the crimes mentioned in the OP included murder, but the outrage seems directed more at pedophilia than murder. Sorry, I don't get it.

And another thing, if people seek out innocent victims and kill them, what difference does it make whether they're so-called pedophiles.

This is a classic case of going after the effect rather than the cause- I question the effectiveness of deterrence in this case.

I don't know. That's why I put "alleged" in the sentence, because they haven't been convicted — and may not be — by a jury of their peers.

Perhaps someone has access to a database regarding the repeat offense percentage in the world pedophile population? Those are the folks who would make ideal candidates for the proposal put forward by Seeker.

Oh, from your jump directly from your anecdote to the failures of rehabilitation on such animals, I assumed that these were repeat offenders. I'm not sure what your plan would be to ferret out pedophiles before they victimize someone...

recidivism rates for sex offenders is in actuality much lower than "regular" criminals. Much of that is probably due to the relative severity in sentences, ie, your common car thief is on average going to spend much less time in the clink than a sex offender.

from the doj:

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/crimoff.htm#child

quote:

Sex offenders

On a given day in 1994 there were approximately 234,000 offenders convicted of rape or sexual assault under the care, custody, or control of corrections agencies; nearly 60% of these sex offenders are under conditional supervision in the community.

The median age of the victims of imprisoned sexual assaulters was less than 13 years old; the median age of rape victims was about 22 years.

An estimated 24% of those serving time for rape and 19% of those serving time for sexual assault had been on probation or parole at the time of the offense for which they were in State prison in 1991.
Of the 9,691 male sex offenders released from prisons in 15 States in 1994, 5.3% were rearrested for a new sex crime within 3 years of release.
Of released sex offenders who allegedly committed another sex crime, 40% perpetrated the new offense within a year or less from their prison discharge.

Child victimizers

Approximately 4,300 child molesters were released from prisons in 15 States in 1994. An estimated 3.3% of these 4,300 were rearrested for another sex crime against a child within 3 years of release from prison.
Among child molesters released from prison in 1994, 60% had been in prison for molesting a child 13 years old or younger.
Offenders who had victimized a child were on average 5 years older than the violent offenders who had committed their crimes against adults. Nearly 25% of child victimizers were age 40 or older, but about 10% of the inmates with adult victims fell in that age range.


Compare this to the general criminal recidivism rates:

quote:
Recidivism
Of the 272,111 persons released from prisons in 15 States in 1994, an estimated 67.5% were rearrested for a felony or serious misdemeanor within 3 years, 46.9% were reconvicted, and 25.4% resentenced to prison for a new crime.
The 272,111 offenders discharged in 1994 accounted for nearly 4,877,000 arrest charges over their recorded careers.
Within 3 years of release, 2.5% of released rapists were rearrested for another rape, and 1.2% of those who had served time for homicide were arrested for a new homicide.
Sex offenders were less likely than non-sex offenders to be rearrested for any offense –– 43 percent of sex offenders versus 68 percent of non-sex offenders.
Sex offenders were about four times more likely than non-sex offenders to be arrested for another sex crime after their discharge from prison –– 5.3 percent of sex offenders versus 1.3 percent of non-sex offenders.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

so you see, the problem isn't that rehabilitation is a failure, its figuring out which 3.3 out of a hundred are going to be continual threats to the community. The best way to do that is to have a vigilant police force who actually enforces sex offender registries and parole officers that actually do their jobs. A rarity. I disagree with vigilante witchburners who interfere with a criminal who has served his time, reestablishing himself elsewhere and becoming gainfully employed in a non-child threatening career.

are you saying they should stay at home all the time?

When I was a kid, I went everywhere without parental or adult supervision.

We shouldn't have to live in a society where we have to be under a adult guard all the time and stay locked in our homes.

Kids should go out and play and get excersize.

Actually the only reason I never had to worry about being raped when I was a kid, was I was an ugly kid. . Being ugly has its advantages.

I was a a kid in the early 80's in an area of Utah that had a rash of kidnapping/killings of children. Like 4 in a 6 month period.

I was actually interviewed by Real People about all the kidnappings.

They were done by different people. I still remember Rachel Runyon's name 25 years later.

Her killer was never caught.

we were more practical in those days

anyone who went jogging with Brother Roberts probably risked getting molested and then the boy got bashed or razzed by the other kids at school for being such an idiot

Boys who regularly went jogging were the subject of deep suspicion for fag tendencies and got teased about that. Some of them probably were gay.

We worked it out, we coped, we didn't form a lynch mob
