Washington State has a facility for convicted violent sex offenders called the Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island near Tacoma.
And speaking of “special commitments” . . .
When Hank Pollock and his transgender bride Rebecca Elmore tie the knot Thursday, they will become the first two residents [of the Special Commitment Center] to marry each other.
“Just because you’re in there, you don’t lose your civil rights,” said Chris Case, a spokeswoman for the Department of Social and Health Services, which operates the SCC. “Washington law says they can get married so they can get married. . . .
Pollock, 47, and Elmore, 57, say their day-to-day lives might not change much but they hope their marriage will pave the way for others, including fellow sex offenders . . .
The friendship between Pollock and Elmore reaches back a decade to when Pollock moved to the SCC.
Elmore was already there after pleading guilty in 1995 in Clark County to second-degree kidnapping and second-degree assault with sexual motivation. When Elmore petitioned to be released in 1999, the state Attorney General’s Office persuaded the judge to deny it based on Elmore’s “sexually-motivated cannibalistic fantasies.”
In 2002, Elmore changed his first name from Keith to Rebecca as part of his transgender transformation.
Pollock, who changed his name from Andrew Drescher in 2002, was convicted of five counts of sex crimes against children in Kitsap and Thurston counties from 1987 to 1993. He was committed to the SCC for being a repeat sex offender. . . .
Wait a minute! A tranny kidnapper with “sexually-motivated cannibalistic fantasies” marrying a serial child molester on a prison island? Is this a news article or a Bravo network reality series we’re talking about? Oh, and it’s going to be a lovely ceremony:
To find a pastor to conduct the ceremony, they wrote the nonprofit organization Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians and Gays. A Seattle Christian pastor agreed to officiate at their wedding free of charge.
They chose Oct. 31 to be wed, because it is Samhain, the start of the Wiccan New Year. Not only is it an important date for their religion, they said, but it also symbolizes a new start for the couple. The ceremony will take place in the visiting room at SCC and be limited to two hours. Seven residents will be allowed to attend, not including the pastor and his partner.
“. . . the pastor and his partner . . .”

This is so over the top that I wonder how it is not a hoax. It should be, as it’s entirely mad. And perverse, of course, but that’s rather an obligation in a story about we offenders bad enough to be specially imprisoned.

Isn’t that special! And most prisoners don’t get conjugal visits!
Way to go Washington State! This is definitely a BSC entry. Apparently the Evergreen State wanted to jump over Florida, Ohio, Louisiana and New Jersey in one crazy ass decision!
It’s in western Washington, which has been overrun by California colonists. They make dirty hippies look good.
[…] TOM reports. Nothing BSC about this, is there? […]

But… But… It’s a bleeding goddamned PRISON! For sex offenders! For the worst of the worst of that forlorn, reprobate lot!
Just another one of those things the homosexualists assured us would NOT happen if homosexual “marriage” were legalised!
You would think this would happen first in Massachusetts, or California, but it does not…

A Wiccan ceremony?
Do the “bride” and groom each weigh the same as a duck?

Have I mentioned lately how one of my pet hopeless causes is to get the Beltway around DC renumbered to I-666 ?
I think people end up like this because they are empty inside and they’re crying out for attention. “Look at me. Please, look at me.” It’s like they just went through and checked all the weirdness boxes. Pathetic, really.
Maybe someone will send them a hand grenade for a wedding gift
Regarding the RHPS picture you’re using: IFC has been running that movie twice a night all week, and is apparently going to run it 4 times in a row Halloween Day.
And yet they’re not running Shock Treatment even once. Sad.
OK, so where’s the equality? How come heterosexual prisoners don’t get to have cellmates that they can marry?
The lady who played Magenta was at Dragon*Con she was completely put off by the gay group that was there. Amazing how people miss the point of that movie.
The Muslim minister must have been unavailable.
The real idiocy here is that they have the right to do this?!? As we are told by the not so eloquent ms. Case. How in the hell did this person become a spokesperson? Wait, let me guess. Union member.
