many of them probably at one time got with someone underage, they just didn’t get caught.

Yeah, it’s called “house parties” that happen in the hood every weekend.
They know damn well the young girls cake on the makeup and try to appear and act older and they don’t care. They only care about the ones who were caught and sentenced for the same things they got away with.

Many of those in there, pointing fingers at others might be defecting the spotlight off of their own sex offense. AND, even if they are not in there for that, many of them probably at one time got with someone underage, they just didn’t get caught.

And if one of them had someone, say a 16 year old charged as an adult, thrown into their cell, some I am sure would go after them for sex. The word hypocrite I guess doesn’t apply to their mentality.

AND, a large majority of the time, it is the guards telling the inmates who the sex offenders are.

You mentioned “rape” as one of the types of assaults on sex offenders in prison. Think about that for a moment. The other inmates hate “sex offenders” so much that they’re willing to commit a SEX OFFENSE against us. The irony!

Sir,
If you think civil commitment has ANY PLACE in treatment, the people in charge have once again managed to fool others into believing they are doing a service for the state of Texas. I worked there. I saw the injustice. I saw the suicides bc the men know there’s no other way out.
I recommend you go to http://www.littlefieldtccc.com and find out what exactly is going on in the civil commitment facility. And, you’re correct, they are not releasing anyone. THE PROGRAM IS A FAILURE. So after serving their entire sentences-DECADES, these men are being locked back up in cells and lied to. They are told if they finish the program they can go home. However, the program and the TCCO employees make it impossible to finish.
What’s more, approximately 180 of these men were in an outpatient program and TCCO lied to the men, their families, and their counselors about how long they would be in the facility. They are still lying to families. I have been looking into this facility for over a year. There is not one area that is not corrupt. So please know that civil commitment is worse than prison in NUMEROUS ways! There is NO RELEASE DATE.
Go find it what it’s really about.

Civil commitment has NO place. It is beyond comprehension that its legal. You are held because they think you MIGHT commit a similar crime at SOME point in the UNDETERMINED future. I cant speak for how its ran on other states but in Illinois, you are held until they feel you are longer a “threat to public safety” (ambiguous much?) by a trio of psychiatrists (all paid for by the state). You are kept in a “secure mental care clinic”. But there arent enough of those so you’re sent back to prison. You’re technically a “patient” but you’re housed in a 9×6 cell with another person, made to wear inmate clothes, given an inmate number, an inmate badge, and made to follow inmate rules. You’re an inmate. But with no release date. You’re given the option to attend therapy but anything and everything you say in therapy is open to the state for possible prosecution. You can refuse therapy but if you do, you have literally no chance on your “yearly” evals with the aforementioned psychiatrists. And even if you do somehow convince the psychists, you still have go before a judge who, if they are in a bad mood, can nix the whole thing and you start over again. No sir, Civil Commitment is not a “chance” for anyone.

But still, other than tresspassing after being asked to leave would not warrant any other person maybe a fine or maybe a few days in jail.

I personally followed a case of a guy I helped put behind bars. At the time he was about 29 and had already been in prison 3 times. For what I stopped him from doing, he got 7 years and did 3 of it. Since that incident he was sent to prison 3 more times for robbery. He is now about 39 and out of all those repeat offenses, the most he ever did, even usin a gun as a felon, did 4 years, followed by probation.
99 years is what you give an ax murderer, not a trespasser. So yeah, it is not about the law, it is about the stigma of being on the registry, NOT on your past record. No one got sentences like these before the registries for simple violations.

Heck I have seen guys with lifetime probation only do a few months in jail for a violation for possession of a controled substance as a felon. There is the punishment aspect right there. The fact that there are different rules and sentencing guidelines for sexual offenses.
Even El Chapo is more loved than we are.

Punishment is, according to some, the imposition of an undesirable or unpleasant outcome upon a group or individual, meted out by an authority—in contexts ranging from child discipline to criminal law—as a response and deterrent to a particular action or behavior that is deemed undesirable or unacceptable.

the infliction or imposition of a penalty as retribution for an offense.

*the penalty inflicted.

*rough treatment or handling inflicted on or suffered by a person or thing.
