That would be my worry.  Similar to things like waste treatment plants (and other high-polluting items), the citizens who often are most at risk can get stuck with the worst risks out there, if the wealthier communities can say "no, thanks." I think we might be living in a country with safer waste treatment, power production, chemical industry, et c., if us middle and upper class folks couldn't use our privilege to get out of things - because then, we could all agitate for change with our collective resources and skills - something that's not as effective when left to the poorest and hardest-struggling folks.

I dont really understand leahs comment.

But this story reminds me of a george carlin skit. where you put all these murderers and pedophiles together in a rectangular state and let em go at each other until there is only one left. I have no sympathy for child murderers and pedophiles.

I think Raymond Guay should go back to where he was last week which has been his home for the last 35 years and not to mention he had also served other times on top of the 35 years where he had been committing crimes for 45 years now. Unlikely to change.....I would have to say after reading the events below unfold.

The prison should of gone with the Adam Walsh Protection Act to assure this man is safe enough to put back in society.  This was not done and instead was thrown in the state of NH leaving every citizen of NH at risk.  He was committing crimes since before he was 15 years old.  This man is now 60 years old.

1963-on parole for ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO KILL which he pleaded guilty

he was 15 years old

Aug 23,1968 Guay attempted to perpetrate unnatural sexual acts on a 15 year old boy in the same location that he later killed 12 year John Lindovski.

In the 1968 incident Guay threatened the boy with a fire arm, chased him through the same woods and placed a rock onhis head threatening to smash his skull in.

In 1973 he murdered 12 year old John Lindowski in the same location as the 15 year boy he earlier attacked.

Guay attempted to escape prison 3 times which on one of those occasions he broke into a home of an elderly couple in Concord NH tied them up and robbed them.

1990  Raymond Guay's 4th attempt of attempt to kill (another prison inmate)

Today as walking a free man his words "

Guay said he agreed to the negotiated plea because he just got married on Nov. 18, 1972 and wanted to spare his wife and son the grisly details of a trial

Now what do Guay's words below mean?  

It's still a struggle between the spirit and the flesh every day. But that's my base today and that's my strength," he said

It was noted:

Information on why a federal civil commitment panel declined to commit him was unavailable at press time.
