Louis Theroux: A Place for Paedophiles (2009)
somniloquist 2 points 3 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Can someone be held indefinitely by the state against the potential of them repeating an offence for which they have already served their sentenced time?
Louis Theroux tackles yet another very difficult subject, pedophiles that have served their time and yet are still deemed to be a threat to society. He visits a “hospital” that is full of men who have been convicted, completed a sentence, and then essentially re-incarcerated in a warehousing situation. This raises crushingly difficult issues surrounding rehabilitation, the prison system, mental health, and thought crime. Hear first hand from the men themselves regarding whether they agree to participate in treatment or not, and the merit such a process may or may not hold.
This review may or may not be a thinly veiled commentary on extending ‘punishments’ indefinitely.
