Would you allow a Mental Health Unit for Sexually Violent Predators in your town

Would you allow a Mental Health Unit for Sexually Violent Predators in your town?
So, the state of NY has plans to turn a former Mental Health unit into a "prison" type unit to house Sexually Violent predators in our town. (violent rapists and child molesters). These people are being held on the mental health law, as a danger to others or themself. At the same time, it can take days to find a bed in mental health for children in this state. Would you oppose this unit or not? How would you voice your opinion pro and con?

I would support this unit if the people running it can periodically castrate some of the inmates...in public...on Pay Per View...using a rusty chainsaw...a rusty chainsaw with a dull blade.

I guess you dont have a family. If you did have either a wife, and children you would automatically oppose this kind of thing happening even 5kms near your place of residence. If even one of these disturbed people was to escape & find a way to your place, i think that then you wouldnt have to think about if you're thinking of oppising this or not, it wouldnt be a question at all in your mind, rather a flat out HELL NO, NOT IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD!!!!

Keep those scumbags in prison for life, or better yet, execute them so we don't have to pay to support their sorry *sses!

would i really have a choice?? i would rather not as there would be an awful lot of problems and not just with the predators. parents would be terrified an i can't say that i would blame them. there have been known escapes from these places. i would by every means i have oppose this, sorry.

Well as long as it is a MAXIMUM security ward I think it would be fine. I grew up near a mental health facility and once in a while they got out because it wasnt maximum security but with in an hour they were back in the facility. So as long as proper precautions were taken I wouldnt be opposed to it.

As long as I was assured that the security (min 4 layer max security) was sufficient to prevent escape in case of a wing becoming unstable. Example: if the west wing became compromised and was overrun, there would still be two layers of security to prevent inmates from escaping the MHU.
