Pedophile 'reoffended day after release' : "However, the prosecutor told the court Hodges hit the internet the day after his release and committed the latest offences up until March 20 last year, while serving a suspended jail sentence."
Clearly gaol has had no effect on this man's behaviour so gaol is not going to resolve this for him or the victims of his crimes. There seems to be evidence to suggest that he has a number of things which need to be addressed and resolved . The man has this all wrong and has not had any help. He cannot be allowed to continue in his ways because he is not safe, so he does need to be kept locked up but he also needs help. A lot of help. Sometimes I think we need to prescribe an action plan along with a sentence. I should have thought that we would want to improve people. I do not see the point in shoving people away if we are not doing anything to help them improve and overcome their difficulties. Surely that would be cheaper..to stop them? To change them where we can? All we are doing is avoiding the problem for the length of the sentence. He maybe also needs to have certain things banned from his life and yes, how would we monitor that??
