re: Florida To Begin Sentencing Pedophiles to Death – Democrats Outraged

The data that I have seen says that they are NOT problematic prisoners.

The data you have is generic, and doesn't deal with individuals who may be a risk to society.

Unless you think all pedos are not problematic prisoners. Which I don't even think youre that socially retarded,

I don't care what their risk level is. It's a piss poor deterrent for fricking up kids.

We are discussing this in the context of "life without parole," but just in a low-security environment.

If we were discussing a 3-year (or 10-year) sentence, the analysis would be entirely different.

Do you not consider life in prison (with NOT possibility of release) to be a deterrent?

Of course.

Well, you did not say that, but please do expound. What "risk" do they pose WHILE IN PRISON

Using California's Megan's Law website, the Daily Mail found that there were more than 7,000 sex offenders convicted of "lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age," but released from prison in under a year of being convicted.

"Letting these people out early, we're allowing for a lot more victimization. And that's terrifying," Dordulian added.

Additionally, the report found that predators convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child spent less than a year in prison, as well as three cases of convicts who kidnapped kids under 14 "with intent to commit lewd or lascivious acts," and nearly 40 cases of sodomy with a child under 16.
The investigation examined 54,986 sex offenders listed on the Megan’s Law website as of July 2019 and found 76% of the offenders committed crimes involving kids. The data was determined by comparing the published dates of a pedophile’s conviction versus their release date. 
Convicted pedophiles spend an average of two years and 10 months in prison, according to the report.

California releases thousands of pedophiles less than year after their convictions, data shows

If your position is that the State should retain the option to place an individual child molester in a high-security environment,

No, why do you default to min security for people who frick up children for life?

You are describing ALL statistical analysis.

Correct, so why is your base line minimum security?

---

Because statistically they are NOT problem prisoners. Statistically, they are good candidates for low- or medium-security facilities, because they do NOT cause problems in prison and do NOT attempt escape.

Again, it makes perfect sense to use a higher-security option for a prisoner who is likely to buck the trends.

Why are you struggling with this concept? It is not rocket science.

It does not REMOTELY address their behavior IN PRISON, as prisoners.

that they are getting out in less than a year is quite a bit more relevant than their behavior in prison

AGAIN, if we accept the premise that the PURPOSE of prison is to protect the citizenry, it is the obligation of the State to fulfill that purpose in a way that does not constitute an unnecessary waste of taxpayer resources.

IOW, if the State can provide the citizenry with EXACTLY the same level of protection from Prisoner-X at a cost of $5k per year in low-security or at a cost of $50k per year in high-security (both hypothetical figures), it is the obligation of the State as a fiduciary for taxpayers to provide that same level of protection at the lower cost.

I am not a fan of $5,000 hammers when a $5 hammer will do the job, and I am not a fan of spending a fortune to keep a docile prisoner in solitary confinement, when he can be kept in a lower-security facility for a fraction of the cost.

But you do you.

Preventing recidivism should save a shite load of money.

There should be absolutely minimum risk of escape or offending while in prison

Lock them.in solitary, your offenders will be safe there..

Preds need to know prison is hard. Do you disagree?
