Civil Commitment is Unconstitutional, The Courts give out the Sentence and after completed they are to be Released not placed in other Confinement, that is called a Secret Prison,We are in United States and this is not Allow, The facility at Littlefield Needs to be Closed Down. I don’t understand why Court Documents take so long as to make a decision, a Writ of Habeas Corpus has been on the Docket since 2011 and yet they have not Ruled on it,Why are these not Being Reviewed? It seems that the Courts are already Failing the People, The Judge at the 435th Court sat on it for 3 years,Where is Justice?? Where is In God we Trust? Judges Cannot be Bias due that they are inmates,Get off your bench and Rule…We are the People whom Elect You.

I totally agree with the factual inadequacy of the entire program and am one of the people from F.A.C.T.S that is in this fight to reform or if need be dismantle this ineffective and unconstutional program. TCCO and MTC do not value life they value profit and are getting away with no accountability of any laws broken in the process to achieve their monetary and bias goals. We need more people to stand for the unjust treatment of tthese men. They are human beings and have been punished excessively for their crimes. The state is trying to take their entire lives away on a premise that “THEY MIGHT REOFFEND” and purposely not giving them the the court ordered treatment by licensed thetherapist, using small infractions to hold the them back and excessive force when
these guys try to stand up for their civil rights.

They should be held like this especially if they are violent offenders. All I heard is all about the perpetrators. What about the victims and children some of these people scarred and injured along the way. Imagine how they eel to know these people are back on the streets. If they don’t want to deal with the punishments, then they shouldn’t have done what they did. They definitely had time to think about and plan what they did to their victims. So deal with the consequences of that. Someone has to protect those who can’t protect themselves.
If indefinite confinement protects children and others from these sexually violent offenders, then so be it..

In reply to A Mistake They Made. The treatment providers only stay a few months then quit because they are disgusted at the barriers in place that make it difficult for them to provide the program as intended. Every time a "resident" gets a new treatment provider, they must start back at level one. If anyone completes the treatment, it is a miracle.

I have much to say on this, but I can’t. However, I will say only this: When Lawmakers decide to FULLY REFORM The Criminal Justice System, then we might…just might see the end of Private Companies’ involvement with Corrections. This is unlikely to happen, within the next ten to fifty years of the future for certain though!

Thank you Mary Sue,
Its time that we put a Stop to this TCCC. These men have done their time according to the Law and TCCC is taking advantage of all our Tax Dollars. TCCC has continue to charge for all the Therapy these men are placed in,yet nobody is completed. We need to change the statue,where its given within 6 months of Therapy. We don’t need more prisons,this facility is just like a prison,yes I have seen it inside.
Let’s Close this place down. We don’t need this here in Texas.

In reply to Tim in WI. I'm pretty sure the mans name was Sykes. I learned about the study in 1983, From what i recall some of the participants really enjoyed playing the role of convict. The author admitted their enthusiasm likely influenced the " dangerous diagnosis. " Some he surmised was in part " what treatment providers wanted to hear. " This behavior goes on in treatment programs all the time. I'll try and find it myself but posting hyperlinks violates TOS.
