	Civil rights activists engaged on sex offender issues, such as Derek Logue, Steven Whitsett and the wider Registry Reform movement have tended to criticise the punitive nature of the American justice system. While personal experience may highlight punitive attitudes (the American justice system is uniquely punitive, using [[civil commitment]] to punish selected offenders beyond their initial sentences), this does not fully explain why some countries with similarly harsh laws and public opinion on sex offenders (e.g. UK, Scandinavia) have employed shorter sentences and more rehabilitative measures. It would appeal to some at least, to consider there is not anything uniquely punitive, or "evil" about the American psyche.

'''Incarceration Industry''' is a term used by American civil libertarians and opponents of sex offender laws to describe the [[Wikipedia:Prison–industrial complex|Prison–industrial complex]] in a somewhat more direct manner.

Civil rights activists engaged on sex offender issues, such as Derek Logue, Steven Whitsett and the wider Registry Reform movement have tended to criticise the punitive nature of the American justice system. While personal experience may highlight punitive attitudes (the American justice system is uniquely punitive, using [[civil commitment]] to punish selected offenders beyond their initial sentences), this does not fully explain why some countries with similarly harsh laws and public opinion on sex offenders (e.g. UK, Scandinavia) have employed shorter sentences and more rehabilitative measures. It would appeal to some at least, to consider that there is not anything uniquely punitive, or "evil" about the American psyche.

The existence, scale and ''demands'' of an '''incarceration industry''', as an alternative, at least partly explains the divergence in sentencing between the US and other developed nations.
