1 results foundAuthor: Lieb, Roxanne Title: Special Commitment Center for Sexually Violent Predators: Potential Paths toward Less Restrictive Alternatives, Revised Summary: Washington State law provides for indefinite civil commitment of persons found to meet criteria as sexually violent predators (SVPs). The Special Commitment Center (SCC) on McNeil Island houses persons who are detained and/or committed as SVPs. The Institute was directed to study several aspects of SCC. Major findings include: Releases: As of CY 2012, 86 residents have been released from SCC. Treatment: 37% of residents actively participate in sex offense treatment. Annual Reviews: A survey of legal practitioners revealed concerns about the timeliness of reviews, with mixed reports regarding the quality. Senior Clinical Team: SCC’s group of senior clinicians and managers plays a key role in residents’ treatment progression and decision-making regarding readiness for a less restrictive alternative. Some practitioners in the legal community expressed confusion and/or concern about the team’s role. Less Restrictive Alternatives: Confinement at the state’s Secure Community Transition facilities costs significantly more than confinement at the main facility. The report includes a response from the Special Commitment Center. Details: Olympia, WA: Washington State Institute for Public Policy, 2013. 60p.
