There are about 2,700 pedophiles, rapists and other sexual offenders are already being held for an indefinite period, mostly in special treatment centers, under so-called civil commitment programs in 19 states, which on average cost taxpayers four times more than keeping the offenders in prison.
These Commitment Centers provide a specialized mental health treatment program for civilly committed sex offenders who have completed their prison sentences. Only sex offenders whom the court finds to meet the legal definition of a sexually violent predator may be civilly committed to the Special Commitment Center.
Going back, we see that on average it cost taxpayers four times more than keeping these sex offenders in prison. This Tax money could be added four times more into the public school systems. Teachers are not getting paid enough. This tax money can help support teachers. After all these are the people that kids spend half of their days with, everyday. These are the ones that help a child reach his or her goals and strive for the best. There is now a teacher shortage just in Northern Virginia itself.
Tax money, is going to criminals, to live in a better place then prison. That simply makes no sense!
