This week on Registry Matters: A federal court finds that Illinois’s civil commitment program violates due process by warehousing people for up to 45 years without adequate treatment. Plus, we explore the paradox of legal challenges to registry regulations — when winning in court can trigger political backlash that produces even harsher laws.

The Registry Matters Podcast’s mission is to cover issues surrounding the Registry. We cover cases that will peel back the veneer of what we need to do to change our lives for the better. We cover news articles that spark conversations about the total insanity of this modern day witch hunt. This podcast will call out bad policy and call out those that are making bad policy.
To change things for the positive, we need to act. We are 6-7-8-900k strong. With that many people, plus their friends and family, over a million people are affected by the registry. We should be able to secure donations to hire lawyers and lobbyists to move the agenda in our favor. We need our people to be represented.
