Uhh, Old hippie, why don't you look up pedophile recidivism? Why don't you do a google search about Joseph Edward Duncan III? Pedophile's ruin people's live's, those children's "sentences" NEVER end!!! The man raped FOUR CHILDREN GODDAMIT!! AT LEAST!! On average, by the time they are caught, a pedophile has molested at least 50 kids!
They cannot be fixed, rehabilitated, OK? Period!! Do you have kids? Yeah, it would be nice if they could, but they can't. I think that life imprisonment would be fine for child molesters.
Personally, I'd rather the money used to house these guys be used for counseling for their victims instead.
