Content: It is at the high security federal prison level where you will have problems. It would be better to "check in" (ask to go into protective custody) and to await a transfer to an easier, ideally SOMP, yard. Tougher sorts might opt to fight it out, but this is a dangerous gamble. Your chances of being civilly committed as a sex offender are slim to none. Only those with a hands-on offense (either instant or prior) are eligible for civil commitment. The government also has to prove that you have a mental defect that would make not reoffending problematic for you. Those who are caught with risk relevant materials, such as pictures of children, have to worry most about this. A good way to evaluate if you are at risk for civil commitment is to ask a Psychology Department representative if you qualify for the Non-Residential Sex Offender Treatment Program (SOTP-NR). Only sex offenders deemed to be low risk are permitted to take the program. So, if you are eligible for the program, then you probably have nothing to worry about.
