How is it hard to recognize unconstitutional behavior within the government and then put a stop to it?

At the end of the article, it even presents a quote: “We don’t sentence people because of what they might do”

Not only that, but if the sentence was 2 years in prison then after that 2 years has been served they should be released. Not placed under additional burdens.

This is an article about sex offenders. At some point soon, they are going to use this as a tool against conservatives. Keep that in mind when you think\say they need to be left in prison to rot.

You might want to rethink that. I know a prison ministry that works with sex offenders. The sex offenders prison released an offender who was scooped up by police as soon as he was released and incarcerated at a mental institution because he told his case worker, repeatedly, that the only mistake he made was not killing his victim. My pastor friend said even other sex offenders were afraid of this guy.
The truth is some can be rehabilitated, some can't and some are innocent and it's hard to tell who is who.

"He still seems obsessed with liberty, personal accountability, individual rights and the constitution. Another treatment failure. Add electric shock to his treatment regimen and reapply for release in 2 years."

Sure we do, but it is loosely based on jumps in probability.

There are a lot of things wrong here, including with the folks being discussed - and some important pieces of information are missing. Why are these particular people kept when others are let loose? They aren’t keeping *everyone*, so what is the basis for the decision?
