In defense to sex offenders as horrible as I may seem:
Pedophilia is classified as a mental disease. Anti-depressants have been prescribed to "out" (but mostly controlled) pedophiles and they seem to make suppressing the urges easier. Don't say that people can't change because a lot of pedos really want to; the problem is that they can't bring it onto themselves to start the change and it's people like you who doubt they can do it from the very beginning that makes them give up.
I'm not condoning any illegal acts - this mental disease shouldn't qualify them for TOO much leeway and sympathy (but it's not like they get that much jail time usually anyway).
As I stated prior, depo shots or other medication/therapy combo has little or no success rate, and our tax dollars shouldn't be spent on that crap.
I will possibly find you an article soon (will take some time, don't know how motivated I am) about research done showing positive response to anti-depressants.
I'm a bit appalled that you believe in capital punishment for people with issues, as horrible as they may be. Even murderers do not receive the death sentence in many states because it's outlawed - what makes you think that something as irrevocable as death is right for these people? Who are you to decide when one is to die, even?
Because I don't believe in the death sentence, I think it would be more constructive to attempt a search for a "cure," I guess we could call it, other than keeping them pent up (and probably severely harassed) for the rest of their lives. I'm not exactly sure how much either costs, but I'm sure the costs are not exactly relative to the outcome.
C'mon man, think about it. You're simply reacting, which I totally understand. Nothing gets me more than the loss/torture of innocent lives, but there are going to be some necessary sacrifices (i.e. partial freedom for pedos during research) in order to advantage the greater good.
