Imagine a small boy being placed into a Minnesota orphanage before the age of 10, only to be raped by a group of other boys, as Christopher Jackson was. What kind of monolithic institution ultimately is responsible for such outcomes? Imagine also the impact that such experiences have on the boy, now primed for a lifetime path of sexual predation, which soon follows repeatedly. By the age of 12, Jackson was having almost daily sexual interactions with his peers. At no point in my acting out did I think what I was doing was against the law, Jackson said. I never thought it was wrong. It felt good. I manipulated people into doing what I wanted.
Now imagine the boy as a man, waiting to be released from confinement after many years of civil commitment in the Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP), as Jackson is.
What would freedom mean to such a man? A reformed return to law-abiding society? What would placement in a less-restrictive setting mean to such a man? A new opportunity to lash out violently, perhaps even lethally? A new opportunity for rage and revenge?
Today, the federal judge who declared Minnesota's sex offender treatment program unconstitutional said he will rule next month how the state, short of shutting down the MSOP program entirely, must fix the program. Will the judge's ruling be date-stamped October 22, 2015? Will the Eighth Circuit overrule the judge?
Or, will a man like Christopher Jackson eventually return his feet to the cold streets of Minnesota, in spite of your disbelief, the letters you write, the telephone calls you make, the blog comments you post (or are now too afraid to post)?
Are you ready for what is to come?
