When i was about 27 years old, I jpined tge YWCA. They'd advertised that they needed an art teacher for children, and I am an artist. When I responded to their ad by going to an interview, the director told me that position wasn't open but that they were in need of phone counselors to run their 24 hr rape crisis hotline. They talked me into doing their training course for it, which included a presentation by a retired head of the Violent Sex Crimes unit in Los Angeles County. He said psychs have studied rapists for decades and experimented with ways to treat them and stop them, and had already concluded (this was 1997) that sex offenders could not be rehabilitated. He said even with chemical castration, they will rape victims with objects. This only reinforced for me his opening statement that sex offenders' main goal, even if they're aroused, is not the sex itself but the violence.
They can't be rehabilitated, the 'experts' know this, then why are ANY of them EVER paroled?
