Truthfully, I think that the law is too lenient. Since child predators have the highest recitivism rate, and futher that many psychologists state that there is no real cure, then the sentence should also include castration to prevent the individuals from repeating their crimes once they are released. Since this will never fly, then the only solution is to incarcerate for longer periods of times.

They say that you can judge a society by how it treats its prisoners. What does it say about a society that coddles sexual predators toward children, when its prisoners will rape and sodomize and abuse said individuals. It seems to me that the prisoners themselves no better with how to deal with these sick bastards than the justice system.
