Reply #26: They did civil commitments with 77 offenders

[sandnsea]

and those are 77 offenders who should stay in prison. The fact of mental disease or defect is not the criteria for commitment. The likelihood of harm to self or others is the criteria, along with a diagnosed mental disease which I gave DUers credit for understanding. The individual facts are being considered, which was your complaint in another post, that it was statute based. It's not.

This is the best we can do to make sure the most dangerous offenders don't get out and stuff our kids in freezers.
