When monsters like Alcala are released, they will kill other people. It may not be popular to say this, especially in an era of professed “criminal justice reform,” and when we want to believe that everyone is redeemable, but Rodney Alcala was living proof that some people are not. Sexual predators do not get better. They may get better at not getting caught, but they do not change. When we release violent sexual predators, it is only a matter of time before more innocent people, and their families, suffer.
