This video describes the sex offender treatment program in Washington State. 95% of sex offenders are eventually released back into the community. There are several current treatment models in use as described by this Canadian source. Treatment is needed to reduce recidivism, but sex offenders are usually the most vulnerable to inmate on inmate violence and entering a program could elevate visibility in the inmate population. Although sex offender treatment is controversial, according to Washington State Corrections, those who complete a program are twice as likely not to re-offend. What do you think?
