Second NYT piece on sex offender confinement
Following up this initial article, the New York Times today has this long story headlined "A Record of Failure at Center for Sex Offenders" as the second of its three-part series on sex offender confinement. Sex Crimes has coverage here (along with lots of other good new stuff), as does Corrections Sentencing here.
