This is not fair at all. There is a difference between offenders and ex-offender. Those who keep doing it and those who are rehabilitated. There are cases where people who were convicted have never done it again and have not committed any crimes anymore.
If the state wants to protect the public, then they should pass a law that puts the offenders in prison for life. Maybe then the ones who are paroled will not repeat the offense, and those who do will never be released again. People who have been doing good in the public and want to do good should not have to suffer for the actions of others.

John Walsh ( America’s Most Wanted) summed up what needs to be done to change our judicial system so that the “CRIME MATCHES THE FINE”. He said there are still people in prison for marijuana possession from the 60″s. When people serve 50 yrs for 1st offense drug charges, while those convicted of murder serve 25 yrs, yep someone needs to analyze and revamp the whole system. Problem being our elected politicians don’t want to be viewed as soft on drugs, it’s more important to be reelected than doing the right thing. Who suffers the most , children murder victims and those violated by rapist. If any of you missed the Oprah show about what happens to the rape kits usually done at hospitals , collecting evidence to help police catch the scum of the earth you will be shocked beyond belief.. You can check with your local city officials to find out what they do but 95% of ALL cities file them away in big boxes, don’t send DNA to a lab, which means it’s never checked in any data base for a match! SHOCKED? Oprah was too. Doesn’t make since? DNA testing is expensive, they can’t figure out what to cut from that budget . Since DNA is as good as a bloody hand print at the crime scene……well you know what I mean. All those poor people serving time for a crime they did not commit, most of them are still waiting for someone to help them, and yes pay for the DNA to be tested. I don’t think that making it difficult for offenders to find housing is the answer. It just pisses them off and I would rather they be pissed in prison. Reopening Alcatraz as a prison is a great idea, perfect housing for sex offenders. Medical help has to be the 1st priority, longer prison terms, revamp our laws. My 4 nieces and nephews were molested by their biological father, he had his parental rights taken away, no prison time, and was not expected to pay child support. Something has been wrong with this system for a long time. I vote for John Walsh, crusader for the people. Since he’s not in politics, he’s the logical choice. Do a Google search for the Oprah episode on rape kits (you will be shocked when you see the results of 10 random unsolved rapes and murders in Chicago after they tested the DNA , and the Walsh show on prison overcrowding , he would rather child molesters, rapist, and murderers be locked up, free the innocent and let those old HIPPIES out of prison!!!

Michael Jackson was like a father to me. I’ve been dealing with his passing along and it has been incredibly tough for me. I can’t believe how he progressed the world around the world. I wish his family the best. Thank you Michael for the most amazing life!

There are so many things that can land you in jail as a sex offender, including having pictures/video of your child (even those under 3) in the bathtub or having their diaper changed, “mooning” a minor, or even grabbing a minor in a way they don’t like. I have known several “offenders” few of which actually were by most people’s definitions. One guy jumped out of his car after he almost hit a young girl who ran out into the street. He grabbed her arm and proceeded to lecture her. That was all, but he was locked away for several years for “restraining” her and now is a sex offender. I knew a guy who was a physical therapist. He had a boy who had a pulled muscle in his back. The therapist had to work the muscle which went into the area of the sciatic nerve. The boy became uncomfortable, and now this guy is a sex offender. I know a former step father who was teaching his step son how to “aim” by “demonstrating” himself. The boy was near deaf and the biological father wanted nothing to do with this “educational experience” until he found out that the step father had taken over. The biological father screamed “foul” and now the step father is a sex offender. Too many courts want to convict, and too many unjust laws are out there. If they SERIOUSLY molested…raped, killed, tortured…a child then throw the book at them! For those people, rehab CAN WORK, but many Justice systems just lock & release. Lock them up until they are deemed “safe” and then continue the counseling & followup. BTW: I also had a friend who was “distributing” kiddy porn. They monitored him for months and then locked him up….rightfully so. Much of what is deemed as such is your child in the bathtub, but I’ve accidentally stumbled upon pics of children being raped and had nightmares for months.

what most people do not realize is that some people have been wrongly accused and have done time for many years in prison. There are some people who are still doing time and are innocent, but because they did not have money to buy a good attorney and the state attorney just crossed them out are innocent as well. There are some people who actually have families and children and because of this, their WIVES AND CHILDREN ARE SUFFERING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND PROPER PLACES TO LIVE. I think that this decision should be on a person to person basis. We are all human and God created us all and He is the only Judge of us. I feel that this is also why so many offenders return to prison, because WE as a people do not try to help them on an individual basis, WE PUT THEM ALL IN ONE CATEGORY AND THAT IS NOT FAIR OR RIGHT. SO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, NEED TO RETHINK THIS ONE. PRAY ABOUT IT

I think all sex offender should be put in a mental hospital after they are released from prison it would avoid minor getting rape by this sick minded people..I was rape myself at the age of 8 years old and he got release 6 month later and raped me again after he was released…it messed my life in every way…that’s my personal opinion they should be but away.

Yes, I agree that most sex offenders were victims themselves – as stated where were the parents – love and support so much needed. Yes, I am all for the Civil Commitment – if this had been in place in 1999 my two children 7 and 9 would not have been victims of a registered sex offender – law enforcement did not do their job. Law enforcement contacted – nothing done then, now 2010 – nothing has ever been done, legally, about my children. The “alleged” offender of my children is now in Federal Prison for raping an 8-year-old male in Spokane, WA – if convicted of my children – this boy would have not been a victim. Is Tennessee one of the 20 states. If a pedophile is convicted in one state, incarcerated in another state – which state would the Civil Commitment come from. My son and daughter both are diagnosed with PTSD, depression – my son with a sexual disorder. As stated no help from the state – only from the local chief of police to tell me, when this man is released in 2022 – the chief would promise me that they would keep this man out of Cumberland County, TN. Yes, there are a lot of laws on the books to protect children from sexual offenders – problem is these laws are not enforced. Help me, help children in Tn.

No one is suggesting life in prison, the suggestion is that a determination of criminally insane be made. Civil Commitment proposed by Martin Andrews is doing us a huge favor and kind enough to propose that criminal pedophiles be labeled as mentally ill so that they can be confined and possibly even treated.

The chronic recidivism rate of child molesters is extremely high, most are incurable, if they can be declared criminally insane serial rapists, they can preemptively receive status sentencing to protect children. Such mental health determination was done at one time in the prison in Vacaville, CA with referral to Atascadero Hospital, where more therapy was available than in Vacaville with higher security. Child molesters
in prison are often raped and murdered once other prisoners find out what they are in for. Often they will use the Bible as a defense to deflect people from coming up to them in the prison yard and asking what they are in for. Do not suggest
sending them to Alcatraz, which is not a prison now, it is a place where tourists go to visit, a museum. The man in question was in TX, keep him there, please, do not send him to San Francisco. It is already a dumping ground for every other
major city’s unwanted. It has more than its share of pedophiles wandering the streets. Current internet is creating so many more pedophiles with on-line porn, this country is manufacturing pedophiles.In SF, many live in hotels in the Tenderloin. San Diego once attempted with prisoners from San Quentin, subject to indeterminate sentences, they receive real castration, as chemical castration was not effective as a deterrent. The mind controls sexual drive, so even real castration might not be effective as a a deterrent. In SF, there are half-way houses for the mentally ill, the Haight has 68 half-way houses for mentally ill who wander around free and panhandle to supplement SSI. Some of these might be pedophiles. Permanent confinement in a mental hospital is preferable to safeguard the population than half-way houses. The SF Guardian recently published an article stating the number of homeless men who live on the streets, in doorways, parks. The bums who wander the streets of SF are possibly recidivist pedophiles unable to live in normal housing due to distancing rules. I feel for the former victim of a pedophile who now has DID and PTSD. Jesus said it would be better for a pedophile
to have a millstone hung around his neck and be drowned than take a chance on hurting a little one. If Jesus Himself was for the death penalty for a pedophile, then Mr. Andrews proposal is kindness indeed. Thank you for the opportunity to express these comments. For any readers and posters, please do not reply to this with the anticipation that I might read it because I will not return to read any replies.
