New study estimates annual cost of incarcerating adults convicted of child sex crimes topped $5.4 billion in 2021
Eur ^ | 03/25/2022 | JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY

The U.S. government spent an estimated $5.4 billion last year at the state and federal level to incarcerate adults convicted of sex crimes against children under age 18, according to a new study led by a Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health researcher.

The study calculated annual spending on incarcerated adults convicted of sex crimes against children under age 18 in U.S. federal and state prisons and sex offender civil commitment facilities. The findings, published online March 23 in the journal Sexual Abuse, highlight the cost of what is considered a preventable public health problem.

Barf alert warning. The article is a sales pitch for hiring shrinks as an alternative to jail. Maybe we should send the bill to Judge Jackson.

“If we really want to prevent harm, then it is going to require more government investment,” Letourneau said. “We are not going to reduce rates of child sexual abuse with just $1.5 million in federal research funding. It’s time for more significant government investment in prevention.”

The money quote, literally.
Personally, I think the issue could be fixed with a rope and a short, sharp drop.

Just think of all the money Ketanji Brown Jackson saved taxpayers through her lenient sentencing of child molesters...

Ridiculous. Shrinks create molesters. They cure no one.

How many of them are illegal aliens too?

Whatnthe article doesn’t tell us is,the FACT that the victim’s lives are irreprably changed, and many often face a,lifetime of therapy and menta problems just for doing nothing wrong and being in the wrong spot at the wrong time when the maggot rapists attacked.

The left do not give a damn about the victims! Either does the new Supreme Court nominee obviously. She thinks criminals shouldn’t have to,suffer for,what she calls a “ mistake” but which everyone else calls a career in crime!

Who asked these clowns to do this “study” and why did they feel a need to do this “study”? Hmmmmmm? We need to do a study about what drives idiots to do “studies”.

Before gay marriage was legal a lawyer/prosecutor told me, “It’s not about marriage. It’s about legalizing pedophilia.” I thought that was a stretch, but everything he predicted has come true. Special rights for gays in gay hate crimes, forcing people who object to the lifestyle to dance to their tunes, etc.

Ah, there’s the rub of the matter isn’t it.

According to marxists,

ALL crime and Mental Illness is the result of Sexual repression and inhabition

To solve crime and mental illnesses

Legalize all sex, INCLUDING pedophilia.

Why Have Penitentiaries Anyway?
by fnu lnu

Most people realize that the court and penal systems in North America are seriously broken and must be fixed, yet contemplating doing away with penitentiaries sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Barely 200 years ago, an experiment began which has cost us untold billions of dollars. Just last year, this experiment resulted in 1.4 million adults incarcerated in federal and state penitentiaries (a figure which has quadrupled since 1980) at a cost of nearly $40,000 each.

As Alan Elsner pointed out in a recent Washington Post article, 2.2 million people are engaged in catching criminals and putting and keeping them behind bars, and “corrections” has become one of the largest sectors of the U.S. economy, employing more people than the combined workforces of General Motors, Ford and Wal-Mart, the three biggest corporate employers in the country. In many “prison town” counties, the number one employer is the Department of Corrections. This is a staggering expense of over $50 billion, an amount that increases by additional billions for each year of the last 25 years of explosive prison growth. As the prison population ages, the taxpayer is paying for medical procedures he can’t afford for himself, and the victims of these criminals realize no compensation at all.

Few realize that the first penitentiary in the world was founded in Philadelphia in 1792. Jails had always existed for the purpose of holding the accused until trial, after which the guilty would pay a fine, make restitution to the victim, be banished, be executed, etc. However, the concept of warehousing criminals to cause them to repent was entirely new.

Imagine a criminal justice system where penitentiaries didn’t even exist, but where a person paid for his crimes rather than having society pay to keep him incarcerated.

One such nation existed. If you stole someone’s property, say a sheep, and were caught with the animal in your possession, you repaid the victim with two sheep, but you didn’t go to a penitentiary. The victim also got a financial settlement, satisfying the desire for victim restitution in our time.

If you sold the stolen sheep, thereby being more involved in the crime, you paid the victim four sheep.

If you committed a capital crime, (murder, rape, kidnapping, etc.) you paid with your life, but you didn’t go to a penitentiary. Such facilities didn’t exist in this nation. They were not needed.

Such a system would completely do away with our newest growth industry, penitentiaries, and restore the victim of crime financially.

I’m not going to tell you where I got the idea for this system, but it’s from a reliable source. Of course, it will never happen here because a powerful lobby has grown up around the prison system that will fight hard to protect the status quo. Correction officers have formed powerful labor unions, and their financial contributions to our politicians will easily outweigh the will of the people. I know, I know, I’m such a young man to be so cynical.

Exactly…

Agenda driven.

Caught in the background a few days ago on media, which animal would you
choose to have sex with. It was a blip enticer to get you to watch a program.

This place is going to hell in a hand basket.

I would bet a lot of statutory rape crimes committed by immigrants (illegal and legal) are swept under the rug as "unique cultural traditions" and not often prosecuted.
