If you want to fix the justice system, figure out telepathy. When someone actually solves the problems within our Justice, then I will stand firmly for everything I say. Until then this is a conversation of what-ifs and do-these.

The question actually <b>is </b> about our justice system. Our system is full of people who shouldn't be in jail for the amount of time they are sentenced and/or who aren't guilty. Polygraph's aren't admissible in court. Until they are admissible we'll continue to see mistakes and wrongful verdicts. Sure there are plenty of sick fucks out there. What should they do with them? I really don't know. It's probably safe to say though, that if someone was sent to jail for molestation, that they get their due share while they are in there. What I'd really like to see is some sort of distiction and different databases. If all these people are pleading to lesser crimes then the line becomes blurred even more. There should be a seperate database for child molestors and predators; a seperate database for violent offenders, and the last category should be the statutory/non-violent/non-predatory offenders. The way the system is now, people automatically lump all of the offenders into the "pedophile" group. I guess that's really off topic.
The other point I want to make is this. IF these repeat offenders were all placed under the same roof what does that actually accomplish? Where do the alternative (correct) thought processes come from. It's just like if you put a bunch of crack heads in the same house then naturally they are going to start thinking about smoking crack again and figure out how to get some in there. The halfway house is a weak idea. I just can't think of a better one at the moment.
