Supreme Court allows civil confinement of sexual predators
The court ruled 5 to 4 that states may civilly confine violent sexual predators after prison terms if they are mentally abnormal and likely to reoffend. Kansas can keep Leroy Hendricks detained, as Justice Thomas wrote that dangerousness overrides due process in civil confinement. Dissenters argued it amounts to additional punishment without treatment. Five states have similar laws. Hendricks' case hinges on mental abnormality and future risk.
