What is Nexus? Nexus is a private, multi-million dollar corporation that owns and operates juvenile treatment institutions. Onarga Academy and Indian Oaks Academy are located in Illinois. Gerard Academy and Mille Lacs Academy are in Minnesota. The Gerard branch of Nexus also owns another juvenile detention facility in Fairmont, Minnesota. Recently the corporation appealed to the Fairmont city council's refusal to rezone the facility so that it could be sold.
According to Nexus:
"The Academy is a highly structured treatment resource that serves as an alternative to incarceration for sex offenders. It gives juvenile court judges the option of rehabilitating those juvenile offenders who appear amenable to treatment and removes them from communities in which they would continue to pose a risk. If programs such as this did not exist, courts would have limited options resulting in more adolescents remaining a danger in their communities or serving time in detention or corrections programs not suited to their individual treatment needs. The Academy's treatment approach addresses the source of the adolescent's behavior problems and dramatically reduces the likelihood of future victims and the accompanying cost of adult incarceration."
These dangerous sex offenders are removed from their communities where they would continue to pose a risk, and are placed into ours. |
