Yes, these men, upon release go on drugs to control their sexual urges, but the majority of them stop taking them and they are back to their old ways. There is a big difference between a person charged with robbing stores...they can be rehabilitated.....pedophiles can't. Until you have walked in the shoes of a child who has been sexually abused you can never understand the trauma these children go through. Many of them are fucked up for life, even with a great deal of therapy. Trust is next to impossible for them.

In the other thread about this we already talked about chemical castration, and I think everyone agrees that with the normal amount of recidive you see among sex offenders, they shouldn't just be set free after a normal prison sentence. However, that does not excuse murder.
As for the comment that "Until you have walked in the shoes of a child who has been sexually abused you can never understand the trauma these children go through", if you would have actually read this thread, you'd know that he has.
In fact, so have I, and I would really appreciate it if people like you would stop assuming that people like me now have to be "fucked up for life", "mentally ruined", "in need of great therapy", "impossible to trust people", etc.
For heaven's sake, don't you see that shit like that has huge negative consequences? Tell someone their life is over often enough, and they just might start believing you.
