Dear Editor/Tips

Subject: Sexual CivilCommitment

Here is a controversial article that will turn heads around. The unfair

Sexual Civil Commitment Law needs to be investigated,aswell as the Special

Treatment Unit in Avenel, NJ., before people are afraid of talking to the

opposite sex. The way this law is, who knows when or who will be next to be

accused of a sexual offense. This law is only one-sided if you are accused

you are guilty but what about the person making the accusations, are they

always telling the truth about what really happened? Lives are being ruined,

families are being torn apart, all because of this unfair law.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said,, "Justice can not be for one side alone but

must be for both which needs to be fair and equal". Well it looks like the

lawmakers overlooked the Sexual Civil Commitment Law because this law is

only one-sided.

Whatever happened to the phase "We the People for the People"? Does this

mean that it applies to everybody except "sex offenders"? Sex Offenders are

people too, so where are their rights?

Sexual Civil Commitment seems to be designed to satisfy the politicians,

so they can get re-elected into public office. It is also a way for the

state to get money and to make it look like they are doing something.

It costs about $175,000 a year per offender to be committed. There are

approximately 700 civilly committed offenders in Avenel, New Jersey, that

equals to $122,500,000.00. This cost is for housing, medical, treatment and

security. (Here is a link that was written by CBS, dated June 22, 2010,

showing the cost to Sexually Civilly Commit a sex offender-

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sex-offender-confinement-costing-states-too-much

/ ) WHY, should New Jersey Taxpayers, pay for any treatment that the

state cannot prove works. I am sure they can use the money for better

issues. Please note, when you are civilly committed there is no time limit

to serve, therefore you can be committed indefinitely. If you happen to

get out, you will be on parole for life, sex registry, and where tolive and

to whom you can live with.

The Special Treatment Unit (STU), in Avenel, NJ is one such place that

needs to be investigated, in warehousing Sexually Civilly Committed Sex

Offenders. They are called residents not inmates but are treated worst then

prisoners in prison. The Correction Officers, Therapist's, treat them as

scum as well as the public. Their treatment program is one size fits all,

regardless of your sex crime. Therefore murders, rapists, kidnappers

and sexually assaulted crimes, are all under one treatment program. People

with developmental disabilities who can't do the programs are held

indefinitely, WHY? If you don't participate in the group, you are put on

Treatment Refusal, and some of your privilege's are denied.

If the program did work, why isn't there more residents released from

Civil Commitment Facilities around the nation, and why is it that there's no

information on how many are released?

In STU, there have been residents that have been murdered, where the

public has no information about this. There have been residents that have

been sexually assaulted (my son is one of them) by other residents,

which has never been reported to the public. It seems that any activity that

occurs is a hush up, and the public never hears anything about it.

There are residents that never did a crime in New Jersey, but they are

civilly committed, one such person is Russell Tinsley who is being

wrongfully held.( Link

Here is link to another Class Action Lawsuit filed by another civilly

confined detainees' dated Oct. 24, 2016. Obviously, there is

something wrong with this facility if they are constantly having class

action lawsuits against them. Also, it seems that nothing was ever done

about these lawsuits because every problem/issue that they had in October

2016, still exist today.

Is there any justice in America, under civil commitment for sex

offenders, at the STU's facility program? The answer is, NO!

There was a lawsuit filed by one of a the female psychiatric professionals,

Dr. Vivian Shanaidman, against the State of New Jersey Department of Human

Services Division of Mental Health Services - (DHS)-(STU) and she sued the

present facility Clinical Director Merrill Main (M.M.)for sexual harassment

and retaliation against her because of her complaints. There was a lawsuit

settlement, but how is it that (M.M.) is still the (STU) -Clinical

Director?

The Government of the State of New Jersey is clearly covering it up, by

intimidating the civil commitment judges, psychiatric and lawyers into

silence and writing fraudulent reports and negligent representation. Dr.

Vivian Shnaidman's successful lawsuit reports the reason for such secrecy,

discrimination against anyone, against this civil commitment abuse, because

of the injustice of keeping someone locked up for life, and under the fake

diagnosis to justify civil commitment because the(STU) can generate enough

dividends to be a taxpayers' expense! Learn more about this breathtaking

discovery.( Link to the lawsuit

The Special Treatment Unit (STU), in Avenel needs to be investigated for

their activities and for not providing adequate treatment, protection and

fairness to residents. If these residents are to succeed in society, then

they need to be respected, and treated with fairness so they can grow to be

productive citizens within today's society, if not what is the purpose of

the treatment?

The public needs to be made aware of the cost of maintaining these

residents, that is costing taxpayers millions, and millions of dollars per

year, and the inadequate treatment program that still exists today.

There must be an editorial posted, about the unfair conditions, outdated

treatment, and the cost that (Parole Supervision for Life, Sex Registry, and

Civil Commitment) is associated with this unfair Sexual Civil Commitment

Law.

In addition, how can you expect adequate treatment and fairness, if it is

under the control and care of a Sexually Charged Clinical Director's

Supervision?

Sexual Civil Commitment needs to be changed for the better or be

eliminated. If civil commitment is for sex crimes, then it should also be

for all crimes. This is a very unfair law with a lifetime of punishment. Why

is it that sex offenders, are civilly committed after they serve their

sentence but, Murders, Terrorist and Bullies, go free after their sentence

is served, only to be able to commit another crime?

If you must have this unfair law, then let it be for all violent

First-Degree Sex Crimes who are the worst of the worst, nota simple sexual

assault charge, or past charges that you were not convicted of.

The public must be made aware of this unfair Sexual Civil Commitment Law,

and the punishment that it is associated with. Judges, Attorney Generals and

Politicians are afraid to let a sex offender out, in fair they may commit

another crime, and that they will have to answer for their actions, which

for most likely cost them their job.

The release program is based on if you will offend again in the future.

This is absurd, unless you are inside their head there is no way, you will

ever know if they will commit a crime in the future, Therefore the offender

is held indefinitely .

Who knows, the way society is, you may be the next one to be charged with

a sex crime, and then and only then will you understand this unfair double

jeopardy law that provides endless punishment that exists today. See you at

the Special Treatment Unit, in Avenel, NJ, unless you happen to not be

charged in a sex crime.

As mentioned, the public needs to be made aware of this unfair Sexual

Civil Commitment Law.

If we are to have a Civil Commitment Law, then it should be for people,

who forcefully and violently break the law, not just for sex crimes.

Are law makers, becoming Communist, are we becoming a Police Nation, are

we a country that didn't fight for freedom? If not , then all criminals

who commit crimes, including sex crimes should have the right to serve their

sentence that is required of them, and to be set free.

How do you expect a sex offender to do better if you are constantly

punishing them by making them feel like scum, instead of treating them with

fairness, and making them feel like they are part of

society? Criminals in prison are treated with more respect and

fairness than sex offenders, receiving treatment.

Thanking you in advance for your reply, and your investigation.
