Conditions of Supervised Release
No. 14-2787 United States of America v. Darrel W. Jones
Conditions of supervision requiring evaluation of to determine needs of treatment not excessive, particularly given his behavior.
“Convicted sex offenders tend to recidivate at a higher -than-normal rate. See McKune v. Lile, 536 U.S. 24, 33 (2002) (citing relevant studies). And “[m]ental health professionals seem to agree that accepting responsibility for past sexual misconduct is often essential to successful treatment.” Id. at 68 (Stevens, J., dissenting). But Jones refused to participate in his required treatment program after emerging from prison in 1994. Moreover, he continued to deny that he had a problem nearly a decade after the offenses. That is not the behavior of a rehabilitated man.”
