Some persons suffer throughout their lives and it would never change. But with the help of experts, doctors, and treatment programs, a judge would have some level of comfort that the risk is being minimized. Nothing is forever; there's always a risk. But if there's enough evidence and treatment and facilities to make judges believe that public safety can be maintained without sending this person into custody, or by sending the person to a different form of custody, then I think we've accomplished it. There's no definitive answer, but we all recognize the problem.
