Did the system fail to keep society safe from rapist?


Keith Dare. (Albany County Jail)

Keith Dare will be sentenced to 25 years to life in prison today after pleading guilty to a brutal rape he committed just months after being released from prison for a similar crime in 1989.

Jordan Carleo-Evangelist wrote about how the system failed to protect society from Dare. His entire story is here.

Carleo-Evangelist reports:


There was no parole officer to keep tabs on him because Dare, having broken the rules more than five dozen times while behind bars, had served every day of his sentence — known as “maxing out.” Because he wasn’t on parole, he didn’t need to have a job or a place to go.

    I’m not sure how many examples of re-offending we need before we realize that sexual predators are incapable of living among the free.

    Yes, the system did fail and it will continue to fail everytime a sexual abuser is released.

    If you want to be kind hearted, have a regulated institution they can be kept in that’s slightly better than jail, but that they can never leave.

    Otherwise, keep them in jail! Would you rather risk your family members or friends or yourself being brutally raped and possibly murdered just so a rapist can get out of jail? I would say NO.

    How about we just fire up the people shredder and
    feed some fish? Save the taxpayers some money and
    stop supporting this MONSTER. And anyone who says he
    can be helped, how about you move him into you home
    and work with him and support him….

    I worked at the NYS division of parole for over 25 years. If the taxpayers knew how the current criminal justice system operates, a collective shudder would go the spine of the citizenry!!!!!! The system enables these criminals.. I know that Brendon Lyons has done exposes in the past on parolees that have committed crimes even though they were violating the conditions of their parole and should have been off the street- but the scope of this problem needs to be investigated. Parolees routinely use drugs(show me statistical proof that someone using crack is “stable/”), violate curfews, drink alcohol, get arrested and, basically, break every rule possible. The state does not want people in prison because of the cost. THe general public has to get the idea that they are being protected by any police agency out of their heads. The State Police and other law enforcement agencies have been give revenue generation via ticket issuance as their main job.

    if i recall his girlfriend at the time said he was with her at the welare department sounds like he was being supported by us taxpayers also. for some twisted reason the law’s seem designed to protect and cater to victims as to not violate their rights . shame we can’t by a piece of land somewhere and let all these scum bags live there with no access to others area’s and let them fend for themselves..
