(The Center Square) - California is spending $1.7 million per year housing and treating each “sexually violent predator” discharged from state mental hospitals and in the process of transitioning to
“Wildly successful California program treating violent sex predators has 100% rate of any preventing crime of violence or sex on California citizens”
Here’s the supporting statement from that same article:
"While the program has, on its face, been successful — only two participants, or 4%, reoffended during their supervision under Liberty Healthcare, one of whom was found to possess child pornography and the other failed a reporting requirement, compared to a 19% recidivism rate for those who were unconditionally released from state mental hospitals. Given that those given conditional release under the supervision of Liberty Healthcare are more of a threat than those with unconditional release, the 4% recidivism rate appears to be an improvement over the status quo. "
Alternate headline for the same article:
