Segregation of Sex Offenders Sought in PA Institutions
A Harrisburg legislative report urges segregation of sex offenders in commonweal institutions as a major step to curb sex crimes in Pennsylvania. The joint state government commission recommends immediate establishment of the Pennsylvania correctional diagnostic and classification center authorized in 1945 but never activated. Judges say there is no facility for corrective treatment, hindering efforts to provide treatment for offenders. The report notes a shift from mere confinement to confinement with treatment in offender management.
