Should Pedophilia be a mandatory life sentence?

I believe my answer is 2 fold. I don't feel that putting these people in prison for the rest of their lives is the answer. It is far to costly and I don't feel safe in letting them go their own ways unsupervised either. So what do we do?

Presently Judges give out long and harsh sentences for child molestation but, once the offender is released and their parole is over, they are free to do as they please and this is a dangerous place for a pedophile to be.

The courts can partition for civil commitment but this practice is costly and the criminal rights advocates would be all over this stating how they have done their time and how unconstitutional this kind of treatment is. How ever if the laws changed to make sentencing of child sex crimes to have a minimum sentence of life then we can choose who gets paroled and what the commitments for the offender will be for the rest of their life because they are on a lifetime parole.

My experience tells me that group therapy and group monitoring works but is that enough?

I would like to see sex offenders receive a life sentence but not all in jail. I would like to have a mandated lifetime group therapy with ankle bracelets. The cost would be at the expense of the offender and therefore a requirement for parole would mean they must be employed. This is low cost and will allow an offender to make a life for their family as well as always being in treatment and in check.

There is peace in therapy. You might always feel the urge but it can be controlled.

Death is not the answer. Therapy and controls are. Many pedophiles lead normal lives without offending.

You can not change the make up of what you are. Its a part of from birth. But you can control.

I see it all the time in my circles

Pedophilia is a sexual attraction to children. Child molestation is an action. Child molestation is a crime. Pedophilia is something people are born with but does not mean that they molest children. You should learn your vocabulary before posting an opinion that cannot make sense because you don't use the words correctly.
