Fight for release
I have been at VCBR for over 8 years. I made Phase 3 in 2011 with a recommendation for discharge. However, for some reason, I was put on phase probation. False information was put in my record. In 2015, I was demoted again to Phase 2 because I complained about clinical misconduct. In 2018, I was once again in Phase 3 with a recommendation for discharge. However, a new therapist joined our group besides the then current one. These 2 therapists undid all the accomplishments I made with my previous therapist who left. I complained about Ms. X. making fun of me in group due to my being sick. Even though I did the phase assignments, they wouldn’t let me present them, telling me I could during winter quarter of the year. On Jan. 8, I read my progress report… Read more “Fight for release”
I am a normal human being
I am labeled a registered sex offender in the state of Florida. I am college educated, raised in a home with loving parents who showed me, by their example, the benefits of hard work and honest living. I was never sexually abused in any way. My family history is made up of intelligent people from the fields of engineering, architecture, art and design. I inherited the artistic side of the family genes. Human faces fascinate me. They are beautiful no mater their age. Because of this fascination I have been branded a pedophile. I broke the law by looking at pictures and video on the computer of underage girls. I have taken full responsibility for my actions and served my prison and probation time successfully, without incident. One of the “tests” I was given to see if I was a… Read more “I am a normal human being”

Protest in Texas Against Civil Commitment
Protest Against Texas Shadow Prison in Littlefield Salute from Just Future There was a protest against the Texas system of so-called “sex offender civil commitment” in Littlefield, Texas on Saturday, April 09, 2022. Hats off to the brave advocates against pre-crime preventative detention who rallied in the middle-of-nowhere Texas to stand up for their values and their loved ones. The Propaganda If it looks like a prison, and has razor wire like a prison, and treats people without dignity or rights like a prison… it’s probably a prison. But in response to a recent protest outside the “not-a-prison” prison in Littlefield, Texas, state officials inside the Ministry of Truth — strike that, the Texas Civil Commitment Office —released their talking points on how fantastic and totally not a human rights violation their “program” is. The KLBK Story In the interestRead more “Protest in Texas Against Civil Commitment”
Cost of the Shadow Prison in California
California spends the second most money on prisons per capita in the nation. Especially now, with the pandemic ravaging our economy — at every level from local municipalities to the national tax base — state governments are left with difficult budgeting decisions to make. While congress has the luxury of deficit spending, individual state governments are constitutionally barred from going into the red. But it is impossible to balance a budget during the worst fiscal downturn since the Great Depression while spending the same amount of money as they were in the “before times.” One easy solution to their money problem would be to eliminate their shadow prison program. In 2009, the annual cost of running California’s civil containment prison, Coalinga State Hospital, was $117,383,741. A decade later, that number shot up to $298,184,000 in 2019. That is a 254Read more “Cost of the Shadow Prison in California”
In Memoriam: Lives Lost While Imprisoned After Their Release Date in Minnesota
The people who run these programs pretend that they are for “treatment.” For at least 60 people who were sent to the Minnesota Sex Offender Program it was a death sentence. The following names, placed here in memoriam, are a stark illustration of the false promise of therapeutic intent. The names listed remind us of why we work, today and every day, to abolish pre-crime preventative detention systems.
