Do you think there really is help or a chance of rehabilitation for sex offenders? Especially ones involving children? It seems to me that every month we get a warning on the news of a sex offender being released and a public warning that he is very likely to re-offend. I wonder if there are actually cases of succesful rehabilitation.

The general population comment was in jest. I know that most sex offenders will be placed in solitary. This is usually due to the fact that every big bad criminals dispise people that commit crimes against children.

Wasn't it Pete Townsand that was charged with possesion a few years back and than proven innocent?
