sarah A asked:
A person is diagnosed as a pedophile, is convicted of child sexual abuse, is sentenced to 10 years in prison, and serves his/her prison term. After the individual’s 10-year sentence has been completed, he/she is then court-ordered to remain “institutionalized” for mental health treatment for his/her **********. The person may refuse treatment but can remain institutionalized indefinitely if they refuse the treatment. In essence, the person is being held for something they “might” do again instead of for something they have already served time for.
