Cal SORP

06/09/2023

More people being released then ever before and a huge absence of transitional support. Today one individual was release and is going to live with family in Sacramento. There were no services to help him and all he had was the money saved up from his facility job.

We have been down during the pandemic. Hopefully we will return full force soon. Thanks for your continued patience.

What are we trying to achieve?

As a country we need to really think about what our priorities are. We should be investing in schools and education, not jails and incarceration. We should be investing in our future.

What exactly is SORP's plan to develop a working model for men who apply for your reentry project?I think a community would like to see things and details like this in clear view to demonstrate just how deeply SORP has planned and prepared for a lot of the contigency problems many other reentry programs in US face.My thinking is if a s*x offender is getting out, but some kind of application snag holds up his even getting into some kind of 290 program like SORP has planned - the guy can still get out with nothing to go to, he's already at risk and certainly a possible danger to the neighborhood, right ?

My understanding is that SORP has a fairly in-depth screening process to establish a working relationship with new clientele.There must be a way to find out where a prisoner or patient is in their efforts to seek help for themselves; programs inside, therapy programs... something that reduces the risk of men who have no idea how to stop themselves from assaulting again once out.Once SORP determines a man has done some hard work on their s*xual crimes,their s*xual issues,what have you - how do you prepare to accept them into your reentry project if they don't even have a target date of possible release?How long does SORP intend to "hold-a-spot" and at what cost?How will that effect men with parole dates AND a history of work behind them to show some kind of intent to be better,do better?

Most reentry programs have to have some kind of realease date for prisoners to even get signed up.Is SORP planning to work with s*x offenders coming out Department of State Hospitals in a way that takes there circumstance into consideration? The men from state hospitals have indefinite sentecing with no true or real release date to speak of.So how does SORP intend to cope with trying to house men when no one knows when anyone is getting out?

These guys getting out of institutions into reentry programs...but,there isn't anything in California I can find dealing with 290 registrants.If this SORP gets up and running,how do they deal with their clientele getting out?I mean,I suppose prisoners can parole right into a SORP project,but the guys in mental hospital like Coalinga?What's the idea for something like that?

The background for 'SORP' is not just interesting, but ought to be raising a lot of our attention. read how it is a hospital, but it is ran by a Director and is operated like a prison). That seems to create an awful lot of wiggle room for tax dollars to get shifted away fro, something as feasible as SORP

I am torn about the way SORP is basically a group of ex-s*x offenders setting up a non-profit. Everything I have seen so far (their web site) "sounds" good , sounds altruistic, "looks" above-board... I have to ask why an ex s*x offender came up with the project and not the city officials charged with protecting my family? I get that the solution against some crimes often takes on this aspect of "It Takes One To Know One," or "It Takes A thief to Catch a Thief". I also see is something we should all endorse.

I belive Sacramento needs to be a lot more involved in reentry programs for PC290 registrants. This SORP project certainly has merit and it needs support from our government. This crazy idea of just letting ex-offenders into a community with nothing to do is asking for a new crime to happen - and that puts my family at risk.

01/21/2020

What exactly is California doing about ex-s*x offenders after they serve their time? Besides just letting come live in my neighborhood without any other kind of support that might keep them busy with their lives and way from my family?

01/20/2020

This SORP thinking, as I understand it, is just an idea and a non-profit. It needs funding and I get that - where are we on that score? Is there any political awareness of its attempt to get off the ground? Can I do something that might get this into operation since I have kids in one of this State's neighborhoods with no response from my government.
