In the 19 other states where sex offenders are being held as patients, mental-health advocates, victims' advocates, and lawyers have criticized the high price and low rehabilitation rates of those programs; many say that focusing resources on the worst predators ignores a much larger population of less dangerous sex offenders who are often related to or friends of their victims, and who receive little treatment 4 In March 2007, however, with overwhelming support from both political parties, New York passed its own civil-commitment law, sending Parker and others who were finishing their criminal sentences into secure psychiatric facilities. Spitzer's Sex Offender Management and Treatment Act enacted a newer process of civil confinement that entails psychiatric exams, case reviews, proba...
Virginia does not quantify the cost to keep hundreds of prisoners in solitary confinement, but those costs exist - in psychiatric trauma, taxpayer expenditures for extra security and the moral diminishment of a society that condones such inhumane conditions. The costs are usually invisible, but reports of a hunger strike at Red Onion State Prison are forcing Virginians to confront a cruelty meted out in their name. Inmates at the Wise County facility are demanding an end to the use of prolonged isolation as a disciplinary tactic.

According to the Office of Sex Offender Management, which was created by legislative action last spring, 36 sex offenders were committed to psychiatric facilities during the first year of New York's new civil-confinement law. Previously, the attorney general's office had tried to get the 49-year-old repeat sex offender committed to a psychiatric facility, but Judge William Wetzel ruled that Johnson should be released instead under "strict and intensive supervision" (lifetime parole with an ankle bracelet).
What is the criminal justice system to do with a man like Ricky L. Moore? Moore -- who was shot and killed July 19 by a rookie Dayton police officer on the verge of being fired -- was a fairly low- level criminal, but a completely incorrigible one. His lengthy rap sheet, mostly consisting of crimes committed in Springfield, speaks of a man who rarely drew breath outside a jail, prison or locked psychiatric unit. Sometimes it was a matter of just days between Moore's release from confinement and his next criminal offense.

In the Preface, Foucault highlights two critical moments in the past five hundred years of Western civilization: "this archaeological inquiry has revealed two great discontinuities in the episteme of Western Culture: the first inaugurates the Classical age (roughly half-way through the seventeenth century) and the second, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, marks the beginning of the modern age" (OT xxii). Henceforth, my dear philosophers, let us be on guard against the dangerous old conceptual fiction that posited a 'pure, will-less, painless, timeless knowing subject'; let us guard against the snares of such contradictory concepts as 'pure reason,' 'absolute spirituality,' 'knowledge in itself: these always demand that we should think of an eye that is completely unthinkable,...
