That was what the woman in the article said. At the same time, you are suggesting more overcrowding for a penal system that is already bursting at the seams.
While I understand your sentiments and I don’t for an instant discount them, how different from a group home do you suppose it is that high percentages of sex offenders are apt. dwellers with roommates?
I would have thought in a group home there would be appropriate supervision. Evidently that was not the case in CT. Either that, or those thugs made their plans elsewhere.
The thugs met and made their plans at the group home. There is no supervision in these homes, except to make sure they see their probation officers, and we all know how effective that is.
BTW, sex offenders frequently live in groups, often at the home of the mother of one of them, or in a house that one of them owns. If you check, you will find that a large number the high profile sex-and-torture-and-murder types have lived in group homes or defacto group homes (that is, clusters of sex offenders). Of course, when one of them goes off the rails, the others all come out and say it was such a pity, they would never have done such a thing, etc. But that’s only because they didn’t have the opportunity.
If jails are too crowded to hold them, build more jails. Or do the best thing of all, which is put them to death. No recidivism. No other woman or child or even man will be raped, tortured or killed by them after that.
