He has been designated a "sexually violent predator" or SVP, and will likely spend the rest of his natural life civilly committed there. At Coalinga, only 36% of the detainees are participating in treatment programs, and St. Martin is one of the patients not participating in treatment. He says he believes in treatment, but that the system at the hospital, where he has been since 2006 after serving 10 years in prison for child molestation charges, is flawed. “The bottom line is, there is no consistency with treatment,” St. Martin said. “All of public safety is an important factor, don’t get me wrong. But the state has taken the community’s money and they’re not producing that. It’s unconscionable what they’ve done. The Supreme Court ruled that the state has to provide treatment — they didn’t say it had to work.” St. Martin is an advocate for better conditions in facilities like Coalinga, meaningful and effective sex offender treatment programs, and an end to civil commitment. He says, "I am being held prisoner through civil commitment by the State of California, using its Department of Mental Health, for crimes that I might commit in the future by people who are actually committing crimes in the present." 00:27:00Registry Report Radionocivil commitment,Coalinga State Hospital,Michael St. Martin,Sex offender treatmentEpisode 13: Michael St. Martin, Civilly Committed for 18 Years3b469dbc-2b51-4642-afdc-4a8360b59fe0213fullhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/07/16/episode-12-jeremy-malcolm-phd--executive-director-of-the-prostasia-foundationSelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/07/16/episode-12-jeremy-malcolm-phd--executive-director-of-the-prostasia-foundation/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/07/16/episode-12-jeremy-malcolm-phd--executive-director-of-the-prostasia-foundationTue, 16 Jul 2019 17:00:00 GMTEpisode 12: Jeremy Malcolm, PhD - Executive Director of the Prostasia FoundationJeremy Malcolm is the Executive Director of Prostasia Foundation, a child protection nonprofit.

About Prostasia: Protecting children from sexual abuse is a cause that everyone can unite behind. Often, however, the measures we take to combat child sexual abuse (CSA) are less effective than they should be, because they are driven by emotion rather than evidence. In striving to protect children from abuse, we may end up harming them and others.

Meaghan strategically used her mishandled rape case to raise awareness about needed policy changes. In the course of this work, Meaghan further exposed over 12,000 untested rape kits in MPD storage.  In 2013 and 2014, over the Memphis mayor’s objections, Meaghan successfully persuaded the Memphis City Council to allocate over $3 million of its own tax revenue to cover the costs of investigating thousands of previously ignored rape cases connected to untested rape kits. In 2015, Meaghan and a group of lawyers and community organizers formed PERL which advocates for criminal justice reform and provides the community’s only peer support for people who have experienced sexual violence. She is also a contributing writer at The Appeal, part of the Harvard University School of Law’s Fair Punishment Project. Meaghan holds a BA in English from Rhodes College and a Juris Doctor from the University of Mississippi. 00:42:00Registry Report Radionorape,survivor,advocacy,PERL,law enforcementMeaghan Ybos - Co-founder of People for the Enforcement of Rape Laws (PERL)a4c299f3-5b96-4e9c-a7ce-561f788eb76b212fullhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/05/15/episode-10-david-lee-garlock--cj-reform-and-second-chances-advocateSelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/05/15/episode-10-david-lee-garlock--cj-reform-and-second-chances-advocate/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/05/15/episode-10-david-lee-garlock--cj-reform-and-second-chances-advocateWed, 15 May 2019 22:00:00 GMTEpisode 10: David Lee Garlock - CJ Reform and Second Chances AdvocateOn October 29th, 1999 David Lee Garlock, then 20 years old, was arrested for the murder of his abuser.

From the Florida Action Committe website: The purpose of Florida Action Committee is to educate the media, our legislators and the public with the facts surrounding Sex Offender Issues. Our concern is for every citizen of Florida to enjoy a safer environment, particularly our children. Today people have access to a world of information through the media, internet and newspapers. Often times, information become distorted and it becomes hard to distinguish sensationalism from fact. Our current policies for sex offender management are failing. We need to fix our broken system to create a safer Florida. We need to realize the fiscal impact this failing system has created, the unintended consequences and immoral burden 60,000 citizens in Florida are subjected to daily, the many civil and human rights violations as well. We encourage our Legislators to consider how important for us to step out of the box, take a broader view of these issues and create more reasonable and more fiscally responsible legislation we can benefit by for a long time to come. Although Government’s intent was well-meaning, there is enough history to evaluate and recognize that now is the time for redirection. The collateral damage is evident and unbelievably sad. It is not too late to make changes for Florida and our Nation. Today more than ever, citizens of Florida need to take a stand. Florida needs courageous leaders to write and support legislation that is truly for the best interest of the people and the future of our State. 00:30:00Registry Report Radionogail colletta,colletta,FAC,Florida,Florida Action CommitteeGail Colletta - President, Florida Action Committee25f2b6fb-3ca0-4280-b505-4551a160bdc629fullhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/04/09/episode-8-rachel-barkow--nyu-law-professor-author-of-prisoners-of-politicsSelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/04/09/episode-8-rachel-barkow--nyu-law-professor-author-of-prisoners-of-politics/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/04/09/episode-8-rachel-barkow--nyu-law-professor-author-of-prisoners-of-politicsTue, 09 Apr 2019 22:00:00 GMTEpisode 8: Rachel Barkow - NYU Law Professor & Author of "Prisoners of Politics"Rachel Barkow, the author of "Prisoner of Politics: Breaking the Cycle of Mass Incarceration," explains how dangerous it is to base criminal justice policy on the whims of the electorate, which puts judges, sheriffs, and politicians in office. Instead, she argues for an institutional shift toward data and expertise, following the model used to set food and workplace safety rules. America’s criminal justice policy reflects irrational fears stoked by politicians seeking to win election. A preeminent legal scholar argues that reform guided by evidence, not politics and emotions, will reduce crime and reverse mass incarceration. The United States has the world’s highest rate of incarceration, a form of punishment that ruins lives and makes a return to prison more likely. As awful as that truth is for individuals and their families, its social consequences—recycling offenders through an overwhelmed criminal justice system, ever-mounting costs, unequal treatment before the law, and a growing class of permanently criminalized citizens—are even more devastating. Barkow’s prescriptions are rooted in a thorough and refreshingly ideology-free cost–benefit analysis of how to cut mass incarceration while maintaining public safety. She points to specific policies that are deeply problematic on moral grounds and have failed to end the cycle of recidivism. Her concrete proposals draw on the best empirical information available to prevent crime and improve the reentry of former prisoners into society. Prisoners of Politics aims to free criminal justice policy from the political arena, where it has repeatedly fallen prey to irrational fears and personal interest, and demonstrates that a few simple changes could make us all safer. 00:56:00Registry Report RadionoRachel Barkow,author,Prisoner of Politics,NYU,CJReformInterview with Rachel Barkow - NYU Law Professor & Author of "Prisoners of Politics"23557b67-26d8-43fd-a019-bb54d07423fc28fullhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/04/02/episode-7-jasons-story--from-the-registry-to-synagogue-president-to-advocateSelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/04/02/episode-7-jasons-story--from-the-registry-to-synagogue-president-to-advocate/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/04/02/episode-7-jasons-story--from-the-registry-to-synagogue-president-to-advocateTue, 02 Apr 2019 01:00:00 GMTEpisode 7: Jason's Story - From the Registry to Synagogue President to AdvocateJason is on the registry in Connecticut for an offense he committed in 2008.

LifeTimes often publishes profiles of people on registries who are happy, hopeful, and succeeding in life despite the many challenges of being a registered citizen. It also covers a myriad of topics of interest not only to registrants, but to anyone wishing to develop and maintain a positive outlook on life. Will is also the Executive Director of Illinois Voices, a registry reform advocacy group in Illinois made up of volunteers who are concerned about the proliferation of public registries in the United States, and Illinois in particular. They focus their efforts in two main areas: Legislation and Litigation. Their legislative efforts include working closely with lawmakers to help them understand the collateral consequences of public registries, and providing them with empirical research regarding the ineffectiveness of registries. They actively oppose legislative efforts that are based on knee-jerk reaction to high profile, yet extremely rare, occurrences. Illinois Voices also works with civil rights attorneys to challenge laws that they believe are unconstitutional and ineffective.

Hosts: Michael McKay, Dwayne Daughtry, and Elizabeth Christensen The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday struck down a law requiring dangerous sexual predators who have completed their sentences to wear electronic monitors for the rest of their lives. The requirement is “patently unreasonable” and violates the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, Chief Justice Harold Melton wrote for a unanimous court. The court ruled in favor of Joseph Park who was convicted in 2003 in Douglas County of child molestation and sexual exploitation of a minor. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Shortly before his release from incarceration, the Sex Offender Registration Review Board classified Park as a “sexually dangerous predator” and required him to wear an electronic monitor linked to a GPS system for the rest of his life. In his appeal, Park contended such a requirement authorized an unconstitutional, warrantless search because it allowed him to be monitored at all times. The high court agreed. Collecting information about an individual 24 hours a day and seven days a week “constitutes a significant intrusion upon the privacy of the individual being monitored,” Melton wrote. The monitoring also can be used to collect evidence of potential criminal wrongdoing that can later be used against that individual, the opinion said. For those reasons, “we must conclude that individuals who have completed their sentences do not have a diminished expectation of privacy that would render their search by a GPS monitoring device reasonable,” Melton wrote. 00:55:00Registry Report Radionogeorgia,supreme court,law,legal,GPSRound Table: Georgia Supreme Court Strikes Down Lifetime GPS Monitoring for SOsc7c1389b-545a-4481-a5af-c5f0893db1a62bonushttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/03/05/episode-3-dr-alissa-r-ackerman-sex-crimes-expert-and-social-justice-advocateSelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/03/05/episode-3-dr-alissa-r-ackerman-sex-crimes-expert-and-social-justice-advocate/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/03/05/episode-3-dr-alissa-r-ackerman-sex-crimes-expert-and-social-justice-advocateTue, 05 Mar 2019 02:00:00 GMTEpisode 3. Dr. Alissa R. Ackerman, Sex Crimes Expert and Social Justice AdvocateJoin us for an interview with Dr. Alissa Ackerman, as we discuss her perspectives on criminal justice reform, the sex offender registry, and her work as an advocate for restorative justice.  "The conversation around ending sexual victimization has become polarized. With people on one side calling for war against a culture that allows gender based violence to occur and individuals on the other side suggesting that survivors and feminists have taken it too far, the discourse appears to be black and white. Ending sexual abuse requires a nuanced approach - one where we lean into uncomfortable conversations. I am committed to ending sexual abuse in all forms. In my years as a public rape survivor and a sex crimes policy expert, I have learned one very important lesson."  ~ Dr. Alissa Ackerman Our hosts for this show are Michael McKay, Shawna Baldwin, Elizabeth Christensen, and Dwayne Daughtry   00:48:00Registry Report RadionoAckerman,Alissa Ackerman,restorative justice,cjreform,criminal justiceAn interview with Dr. Alissa Ackerman on criminal justice reform and restorative justice64a1ee59-945f-45b4-869d-e0c18050bd0923fullhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/03/01/labeling-a-registrant-in-death--whats-the-pointSelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/03/01/labeling-a-registrant-in-death--whats-the-point/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/03/01/labeling-a-registrant-in-death--whats-the-pointFri, 01 Mar 2019 21:00:00 GMTLabeling a Registrant in Death - What's the Point?Musings by Michael McKay on the news media's addiction to labeling registrants, even in death. 00:04:00Registry Report Radiononews media,sex offender,labeling,editorialLabeling a Registrant in Death - What's the Point?https://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/02/27/thoughts-on-ron-book-hatred-and-humanitySelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/02/27/thoughts-on-ron-book-hatred-and-humanity/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/02/27/thoughts-on-ron-book-hatred-and-humanityWed, 27 Feb 2019 06:00:00 GMTThoughts on Ron Book, Hatred, and HumanityThree minutes of musing by Michael McKay 00:05:00Registry Report RadionoThoughts on Ron Book, Hatred, and Humanityhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/02/26/episode-2-interview-with-mary-sue-molnar-texas-voices-for-reason-and-justiceSelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/02/26/episode-2-interview-with-mary-sue-molnar-texas-voices-for-reason-and-justice/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/registryreport/2019/02/26/episode-2-interview-with-mary-sue-molnar-texas-voices-for-reason-and-justiceTue, 26 Feb 2019 02:00:00 GMTEpisode 2.

Encouraging Developments in Michigan and Alabama Meet the Registry Report Radio Team as we discuss the latest developments in Michigan and Alabama.  In a completely unprecedented move, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed amicus briefs in the Michigan Supreme Court today in Michigan v Snyder (Case number 153696) and People v Betts (Case number 148981), arguing that Michigan’s sex offender registration and notification requirements are punishment because they are so burdensome and fail to distinguish between dangerous offenders and those who are not a threat to the community. U.S. District Judge Keith Watkins ruled part of Alabama’s internet reporting requirements are unconstitutional. The ruling also declared unconstitutional the state’s requirement for sex offenders to have a valid driver’s license or other identification card that identifies the person as a sex offender.

During my incarceration, my family and friends were targeted with harassment, vandalism, and death threats.  So, given that back-story, you can probably imagine their reaction when I announced that I was about to become a very public advocate for changing how the judicial system and society deal with sex crimes, victims, and offenders. They freaked out. I needed to assure my family and friends that I would do everything possible to prevent them from becoming the “collateral damage” in a fight that none of them wanted to have any part of.  I gave it a lot of thought, and this is the result of that contemplation.
