Civil Commitment of Sexually Violent Predators
DOC Referral Law:
RCW 72.09.345 requires an “End of Sentence Review Committee” to review every sex offender prior to release from prison.
Commitment Laws:
Sex offenders who have completed their criminal sentences, but state superior courts find to meet the definition of “sexually violent predator” under chapter 71.09 RCW, may be civilly committed to the SCC for care, control, and custody.
Note: Apparently someone can be civilly committed and not be in the state facility (like in Texas), but instead be a patient in the community.
