"State legislators trooped back to Albany for one day last week, primarily to try to iron out differences on a tough new sex-offender law. But despite the media attention before the special session, legislators failed once again to reach an agreement. The law, which New York politicians have been haggling over for 13 years, is called a "civil confinement" law. It would permit the state to hold many sex offenders in psychiatric hospitals after they've served their prison sentence. The idea is popular with politicians: few crimes disturb the public more than those involving sex offenses."
