After six years in an all-female institution, convicted child molester Laura Faye McCollum is being transferred to an all male facility.

McCollum was convicted in 1990 of repeatedly raping an 18-month-old girl and trying to suffocate her with a pillow. She has admitted to sexually assaulting 15 children mostly girls between the ages of 2 and 3.

McCollum, 46, is one of only three female sex offenders in the nation considered dangerous enough to be civilly committed a process by which offenders are sent indefinitely to tightly controlled treatment programs after they have completed their criminal sentences.

the quote makes it seem like she'd be a threat anywhere else. It doesn't seem like her transfer is PART of her punishment (like she's up for grabs).

Still, sick sick woman. That just makes my skin crawl mad puke

Kill it. Now.That's beneath regard. I have a very cherished sword in my collection... I wouldn't sully it with the blood of such a degenerate, but I do have a few other working blades that I'd be pleased to exercise upon this particular piece of filth. This is the one area where my ire is aroused. Child molestors should be executed, and I'll fucking do it personally, if no one else will.

God, that woman's really fucked in the head. The thing is, people are always saying that sex offenders aren't curable and are scarcely containable - they just commit the same crimes again and again. Men can be chemically castrated to take them down a few notches, but what can they do to crazy baby-raping women? I'm disturbed by the end of the article where she talks about her dreams of moving to Spokane and owning a pug.

Let's hope she doesn't get pregnant in the all-male facility.
I would hate to see how her baby would turn out....

Her statement is pretty hypocritical too -
"Would you want to sit in a bunch of men who talk about what they did to women and how they'd like to do that to women again?" McCollum told The Associated Press in a three-hour interview from her housing unit at the women's center. "I don't want them bringing their issues on me."

That is what she did - so suffer. I care not that she's a woman or where they put here. She does not deserve to say anything or even live on this earth amongst us with what she's done to children. But I guess she's still alive so we may learn something about ourselves and about others that have the same afflictions as she does. We'll never know - we just have to deal with this filth every day be it man or woman.

From the article...

"Before a federal judge ordered McCollum to the women's facility in 1997, she was housed alongside 42 male sex predators for two years at Monroe Correctional Complex. McCollum said the men touched her, exposed themselves and verbally taunted her."

A taste of things to come for her, it seems.

don't the elusive "they" say that in prison hierarchy, rapists are treated most harshly among prisoners, and if you rape a child, it's even worse? i can only imagine what's going to happen to this woman. but i can't say it upsets me. i hope she gets what she deserves.

That demon should be sterilized if execution isn't in the program. And barred from ever being allowed access to animals or people smaller than her ( which appears to be nearly everyone judging by her picture. And she has the nerve to laugh. This makes me sick.

wonderful, our criminal justice system doesn't actually punish anyone enough for most people, but we can all thank christ it's so fucked beyond any belief that the prisoners will punish each other. don't we have protections in the constituion that keep us from cruel and unusal punishment? i remember reading that somewhere... oh the bill of rights, but that doesn't apply if you fuck with children.
what a load of shit, i thought the whole point of protecting the guilty was the hope that it protects the innocent, as well. lock the monsters away but make we at least remember to treat them like human beings, because we're not always right about who is or is not a monster.

As a father to young daughters, I'd personally like a very long public torture and execution for this abberant being.

Can you call this cruel and unusual punishment? Not that anyone around here cares one way or another, but throwing someone in a prison situation where they are virtually guarenteed to be raped and mutilated every night until they are killed seems to fit the "cruel" part at least.

I understand she can't be sent to a female prison, I just wondered about the legality.

I found this particularly disturbing:

"Ruth Mathews, a psychologist who helped develop a program specifically for the women in Minnesota, said the coed effort there "was pretty disastrous,"

"The women were actually getting worse," Mathews said."

This has to say something really fucked up about these programs that are supposed to be changing people. And yeah, this is cruel and unusual punishment. My gut wants to say "so what", but my mind knows better. We have to uphold these rights for all, even if we really, REALLY don't want to.

She hopes to move to Spokane one day, get a pet pug, and get a job cleaning office buildings at night, where she has little chance of running into children.
"I'm not worried about re-offending I'm worried about what it looks like to other people," McCollum said.


Hmmm... well, WE'RE worried about you re-offending, ya sick biatch. And you already know what it looks like to other people, so don't play dumb and innocent. Own up, admit you're fucked up beyond redemption, and just stay in prison where you can't 'be tempted.'
How can she say she's rehabilitated when she dreams of a job where she can not be around kids? Sounds to me like she just wants out of jail and is afraid she'll do it again.

I can't imagine why they would do this in the first place. Couldn't they confine her in an all-female institution? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

I have to admit that I will lose no sleep if/when this woman is killed in prison, but it's still pretty fucked up.

edit: It does say that she'll be housed in a seperate wing from the men - so maybe she'll be all right. whatever

She admitted to assaulting 15 young children. Good chance there are others too.
It does say she will be in a different wing from the men.. I'd imagine she won't be in contact with them unless she is under supervision by the guards.

This woman makes me ill. I can't believe she will be let out eventually. Hopefully something really bad happens to her before then. People like that deserve bad things to happen to them. Not just because she hurt kids.. if she did it to people who could fight back even.. she doesn't deserve to be alive.

Just to let you know, the bill of rights has been supplanted, our country is now run by corporate greed.

If our prison system actually helped people to reform, the corporations would lose their cheap labor.
