MSOP Was Never Designed for Reintegrating Clients Back Into Society

The below is OCEAN Newsletter Volume 1, Issue 4, Article 1 (Oct. 12, 2019) published by Russell J. Hatton & Daniel A. Wilson from the gulag in Moose Lake Minnesota.   Any clinician who thinks MSOP was ever designed to actually treat and release sex offenders is not paying attention to the evidence in front of them. Mr. Grisbeck, who was at the 1994 Legislative Hearings on the Minnesota Sex Offender Commitment Bill, admitted blatantly: No one has, I think, really been honest as to what we’re trying to do here. I’ve heard arguments before the Court of Appeals and Supreme…

Wilson from the gulag in Moose Lake Minnesota.   Since 1952, there has been a 234% increase in the number of mental disorders. This is dramatically expanding the realm of psychiatry and narrowing the gap of normality – converting millions of people from being without mental disorders to being psychiatrically “sick.” Their criteria are based on psychiatric opinion only. The claim is that the issue is one of ‘chemical imbalance.’ However, there is no way to prove this. There…

The below is OCEAN Newsletter Volume 1, Issue 3, Article 3 (Sep. 12, 2019) published by Russell J. Hatton & Daniel A. Wilson from the gulag in Moose Lake Minnesota.   Judge Berzon’s excellent opinion is deserving of support. I would, however, go beyond it to hold the Orwellian procedure at issue to be always a violation of the personal dignity of which prisoners are not deprived. The procedure violates a prisoner’s bodily integrity by affecting his genitals. The procedure violates a prisoner’s mental integrity by intruding images into { 451 F .3d 571} his brain. The procedure violates a prisoner’s…

The below is OCEAN Newsletter Volume 1, Issue 2, Article 4 (Aug. 15, 2019) published by Russell J. Hatton & Daniel A. Wilson from the gulag in Moose Lake Minnesota.   Humans are animals of progress and discovery. However, we are also afraid of taking responsibility. So although our natural curiosity has driven mankind to progress and discover in amazing ways, our fear of being personally accountable has hindered our mental health systems. In relation to a propensity to sexually offend, to indoctrinate the idea that there will never be a cure, is to slam the door in the face of…

MSOP Staff . . . Least Accomplished Group of People . . .

The below is OCEAN Newsletter Volume 1, Issue 2, Article 2 (Aug. 15, 2019) published by Russell J. Hatton & Daniel A. Wilson from the gulag in Moose Lake Minnesota.   With any other profession consisting of “sick” people, if the clients do not get well, it is the fault of the doctors and nurses, not the clients. Any clinician, who decides to get an education to help others, should expect to see the results of their hard work. However, an MSOP clinician is like a surgeon who leaves her patient on the operation table to die (But not before she…
