The Telegraph: Muslim sex offenders may opt out of treatment

In a stunning case of political correctness gone horribly mad and special treatment for (obviously “moral”) god botherers, it seems that there is a “case” whereby imprisoned sex offenders who adhere to a certain flavour of magical thinking may be allowed to opt out of treatment for their crimes.

The treatment programme seemingly entails a period of discussing and acting out their crimes with their peers (presumably other jailed sex offenders) and assessment. Should their assessment be positive, they may be eligible for early release.

Muslims, apparently, have a religiously inspired injunction barring them from discussing their crimes.

One of the startling — and, in my opinion, very disturbing — revelations put forward is that, should muslims not take part in these treatments and thence not be qualified for parole as an assessment is only made during these programmes, they may be eligible to sue the prison service (i.e. the taxpayer) for having to serve their full .

However, union leaders warned that as treatment is used to assess whether prisoners are suitable for early release, Muslims who have to serve longer terms because they did not take part could sue the Prison Service.

So, let me get this straight: someone who has committed a crime, most likely against someone else, and been found guilty within the law might be allowed to receive compensation for serving the full sentence that they received for their crime, because they have some magical beliefs and refuse to receive treatment?

Fuck that.
