Using a retrospective quasi-experimental design, this study evaluates the effectiveness of prison-based treatment by examining recidivism outcomes among 2,040 sex offenders released from Minnesota prisons between 1990 and 2003 (average follow-up period of 9.3 years). To reduce observed selection bias, the authors used propensity score matching to create a comparison group of 1,020 untreated sex offenders who were not significantly different from the 1,020 treated offenders. In addition, intent-to-treat analyses and the Rosenbaum bounds method were used to test the sensitivity of the findings to treatment refuser and unobserved selection bias. Results from the Cox regression analyses revealed that participating in treatment significantly reduced the hazard ratio for rearrest by 27% for sexual recidivism, 18% for violent recidivism, and 12% for general recidivism. These findings are consistent with the growing body of research supporting the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral treatment for sex offenders.

Minnesota has never successfully discharged a sex offender from its commitment program. In the program's 19 years, one other man was freed with conditions in 2000, but was taken back into custody on a violation.
Why do you bother to post with such ignorance, unless you are saying the Minn. news casters are all lying. (Maybe I should not of have said rape, as newscasters no longer call rape-rape, or sodomy-sodomy. The only time one hears rape nowadays is if some dork 18 year old gets suckered in by a sixteen year old dressed like high class hooker,)
OH yes, the reason it is in the news, is they are thinking of releasing another one and the parents of the person he committed the crime against are fighting like hell to keep him locked-up even though technically his sentence is over, plus the State of Minn. is trying to figure out what to do with all these sex criminals who technically have served their sentence but are not going to be freed.
Many are calling for life sentence for the crime as that solves the problem of incerated people who have already served the worthless sentence.
OH yes this article say nineteen years but the one the other day said twenty.

However, some states use it to to remove swathes of criminals such as serious sexual criminals and incarcerate them indefinitely.
Minn. has in fact many different schemes and strategies for dealing with all types of offenders as I detailed and there is overwhelming evidence that these are much more effective on convicted sexual offenders than incarceration only.
Please re-read what you claimed and what I posted.
As for indefinitely sectioning the most serious sexual deviants, I think that is a very valid option but it must be used in proportion. I believe that the onus should be on the innocent in these matters and if there is a realistic chance that a serious sexual criminal will re-offend, then the public should be protected. However, you can't just make up facts otherwise it devalues the whole case.

Sorry Ben, I checked the Morning Star, News Line, The Guardian etc but they weren't running the story so I had to quote the Mail. They were publishing stories about the Murdoch's though

I also said Maybe I should not of have said rape, but as the Minn. laws are in a state of cluster-f because the fact a released sexual offender in Dakota raped and murdered a women, it is a minor error if it is one.
Now babble on but you just make yourself look silly.

I do believe that the fact that statuatroy rape is treated the same as violent rape and child molestation is sickly pathetic, especially as this is partly and probabbly mainly self-righteous ass-holes using it to get re-elected.
