Thread: CA:Dozens Rally to release violent sex offenders

There's no end to the lunacy of some people. Coalinga houses VIOLENT sex offenders. It's a beautiful brand new facility and much better than these offenders deserve in my opinion!

Coalinga State Hospital sits about 60 miles southwest of Fresno and is home to more than 1,000 sexually violent predators from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

"Less than one percent of all sexual offenders are in this category of 'sexually violent predators'. They are the worst of the worst," said Nancy Kincaid, Spokesperson for Coalinga State Hospital.

Jammie Stallworth's husband was convicted for lewd acts with a minor, and is now receiving rehabilitation at Coalinga State.

Jammie was part of a group gathered outside the hospital Sunday, advocating for the release of her husband and other sexually violent predators from the facility.

"I'm not saying that it wasn't wrong. But they've done all their time like any other criminal," said Stallworth.

But unlike other criminals, those housed in Coalinga State are typically repeat sexual offenders who have completed their prison sentence, but are ordered to extended treatment.

"The court has determined that this individual has a mental disorder that needs treatment before they can be considered safe in the community," said Kincaid.

The hospital's program is designed to help participants get the skills and treatment they need to reduce their risk of re-offending.

But registered sex offender Tom Madison says, he doesn't think the extra treatment is worth the sex offender's time or the taxpayer's dollars.

"They simply want to get on with their lives, but the fear and hysteria is in the stratosphere today," said Madison.

But the hospital says, until their patients are no longer considered high-risk to the community, they will continue to receive treatment behind the walls of Coalinga State Hospital.

"Many of them have multiple offenses and multiple convictions. What price do we put on public safety? Public safety is an absolute priority," said Kincaid.

Coalinga state hospital is the largest employer in the Coalinga area, providing about 2,000 jobs to local residents.

But the hospital says, until their patients are no longer considered high-risk to the community, they will continue to receive treatment behind the walls of Coalinga State Hospital.

Would the hospital GUARANTEE that these repeat offenders won't do it again? Will the hospital stake their livelihood on it?

Will Jammie Stallworth GUARANTEE that her husband will stay away from minors forever? Will she stake her livelihood on it?

But registered sex offender Tom Madison says, he doesn't think the extra treatment is worth the sex offender's time or the taxpayer's dollars.

"They simply want to get on with their lives, but the fear and hysteria is in the stratosphere today," said Madison.

Well, DUH! REPEAT is the key word here. Can they get on with their lives without raping children?

Some people just need to be locked away and repeat sexual offenders in my opinion should be locked up forever away from those they would harm. That wife is an idiot and needs to move on with her life, her husband is a repaet offender and if released will do it again. She is blinded by her love for her husband and has thrown sensibility and common sense as well as her brain if she has one out the window. If they can't do the time then they shouldn't of done the CRIMES! How does she think his victims feel right now? They are probably in their own prison having to deal with this every day for the rest of their lives because someone couldn't control themselves.

IMHO, there really is no cure for this mental disorder. Laws should be changed to life imprisonment for all sexual deviants.
