[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prison is not purely punitive---it also serves the purpose of keeping dangerous people away from the rest of us. And there are some offenses which are (to quote SUV) especially heinous---such that those who commit them should never be allowed to walk back among us until they have completed their entire sentence. That is especially true with respect to sexual offenders, as the recidivism rate is exceptionally high. Not to consider the nature of the offense and the impact on the victim before deciding whether the offender has been rehabilitated sufficiently is a disgrace. [/quote] Sexual offenders have a high rate of re-offense. If Allen wrote treatment, counseling, ankle-monitoring and/or chemical castration into the bill it would be one thing. Why doesn't he work on accountability on the rehabilitation end? He is so focused on sentence reduction above everything else. Sad for the victims/survivors. Allen's law is #rape-friendly.[/quote]
