The New York Times and the LA Times are making a big issue about what to do with pedophiles and other sex offenders after they complete their prison sentences. Now it costs millions of dollars and takes a decade or more to execute anyone. There are nearly 400 thousand registered sex offenders. We can't execute all of them unless we come up with a cheaper, quicker method. Keeping someone in prison for life isn't cheap either.

If we sent the pedophiles and other sex offenders to agricultural work camps it would be a lot less expensive than prison. The detainees could support themselves working in the fields. That way the farmers wouldn’t have to employ illegal immigrants. Prisoners are already being used this way, so it’s really only a small step.

Admitted pedophiles like Jack McClellen should be included. As Cynthia Steinhauser said, what McClellen is doing is an "abuse of power."

We could use those detention camps where we put the Japanese during World War II. I read recently that they were thinking about making them national monuments or some such thing. This would put them to better use. If there aren’t enough existing camps, new ones could be built for the overload.

And another thing, we know that boys who are sexually abused turn out to be sex offenders. It's a vicious cycle that is spiraling out of control. So they should be sent to juvenile camps. They can go to the adult camps when they are old enough. "Although most people would probably guess that the average age of child molesters in the United States is around 25 or 30 years, it is actually 13 ... Thus, many pedophiles, it appears, were first sexually molested as children, then embarked on their own child-molestation careers as soon as they became adolescents."

I know that sounds terrible, but we have to do something to break the chain of sex abuse. In an epidemic drastic steps must sometimes be taken.

And if we are going to let them run around loose instead of putting them away someplace then requiring florescent green registration plates on the cars of pedophiles and other sex offenders is a good idea. But they aren’t in their automobiles all the time. They are often just walking around. Restricting where they can live doesn’t help all that much because they can get in their cars, park anywhere and then do whatever they want without anyone taking notice.

So I think they should also have to wear florescent green name tags on the front and back of their clothing.

These criminals had the audacity to plan a protest. That sort of thing should not be permitted to happen.
