For once I am agreement with Wavemaker. In my 27 years working for DOC Alaska, I ran into a lot of pedophiles during my career. They are mostly perfect inmates since they don't want to call attention to themselves. But those I talked with all stated that they still got the craving to molest and some were honest enough to say, they are glad to be imprisoned so they can't do no harm. I have seen quite a few of them come back again and again once they were released. Mostly from probation violations....violating the "stay away from kids" rule or actually reoffending once more. From what I read, pedophiles really can't be cure because it all about control. Even if you chopped off their manhood, it won't stop them. They are sexual sadist, totally sociopathic  in nature when it come to this. I am sure its a mental illness but an illness no medication or counseling can come close to fixing (outside of prescription of hemlock!!).
