Actually, statistics show that EVERY child molester will repeat, even after prison, unless something physically prevents them from such activity. You cut off their balls, they won't... break their spine, thus permamently paralyzing them, they won't... put a knife in them a few times and let them bleed to death, and they won't... lock them up for the rest of their lives, they won't... traumatize them so thoroughly that all they can do is sit in a corner and hug their legs all day, and they won't. But let them out with the ability to molest again, and they will. Every. Single. ****ing. Time. Without. Exception.
That's not to say some activities that fall under the catagory of "sexual offence" will necessarily be something that is in the catagory of child molesting. But child molesters truly, somehow, believe their perversion is "love".... and our science just CANNOT break them of that. Disturbing, but true. Maybe at some time in the future these creatures (so far as I'm concerned, they are NOT human) can be somehow controlled... but until that day, lock them up, throw away the key, then push the cage into a lake.

A punishment to a crime should be no worse than the harm cause by the crime itself. Molestation leads to sexual disfunction, drug abuse, and suicide (only to name a few).... I've seen what it does, and there is no act that a human could perform on these things to properly punish them for their actions.
Oh, and just in case no one caught it the previous times:
THERE IS NO CURE, OR EVEN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT
