May 9, 2005 The increasing number and frequency of sexual assaults, molestations, rapes and murders of children by adults is spiraling out of control in the United States. One need only watch the news, go online or read a newspaper to have sexual crimes against children staring you in the face. Everyday, we see pictures of Jessica Lunsford's 'alleged' murdered, John Couey, Michael Jackson, Mary Kay Letorneau, and on and on. This evil plague must end. Since the state cannot afford to keep these criminals in prison, and recent reports show us that ankle bracelets to track their whereabouts are easily defeated, we, as a society must come up with a solution. I think that I have one, but it won't sit well with the ACLU and their fellow travelers. Most of Alaska is owned by the Federal government, and the land is not being used for much of anything at the moment. I propose that the U.S. government build large camps, in the wilds of Alaska, similar to the leper colonies of a previous era, to house convicted sex offenders after or instead of prison. These would not be prisons, per se, but "lifetime halfway houses" where people of a like mind can be with their own. Residents may engage in farming, arts & crafts, roadbuilding, forestry and other useful pursuits, while earning money for restitution for their victims. The camps would quickly become mostly self-sufficient in food and many materials(clothing, etc) Residents would, of course, not be allowed to leave the confines of the camp unless escorted by security personnel, and then only for essential purposes. My solution would save the taxpayers billions in a short time and keep offenders off the streets shared by our children. If you agree with my plan, contact your Congressperson or Senator at the Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121. Don't know who your Congressional representative is?
