Case study - moose lake sex offender program


Problem:

Civil commitment is used to protect oneself or others from someone who is suffering some form of mental disease or disorder. Civil commitment since the early 1990s has been used to institutionalize sexually violent people and justified as necessary to protect the public. Kansas v. Hendricks (1997) was a ruling that decided that the civil commitment of a sex offender was not double jeopardy if the intent was to provide treatment for the offender. The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 greatly accelerated the rate of civil commitments. Confinement is based upon psychological science, which is weak. Moose Lake Lodge, the SVP treatment center for the state of Minnesota, was sued in 2014, facing allegations that the state violated the civil liberties of those individuals committed into Moose Lake Lodge. The federal court found that the state was, in fact, violating detainees' civil liberties and ordered immediate remediation.
