Which is why it is ludicrous to let these people back into society, because they WILL reoffend. They will not be able to suppress their urges.

I have to disagree with that, because it's like saying that, for instance, someone who becomes a Monk would never be able to hold to a vow of celibacy as hetero-sexuality is *their* sexual orientation.
The trick is to help the paedophile understand that, no matter what they, personally, may feel about children, those feelings are *not* reciprocated (unless the child has been groomed/ brainwashed/ coerced) and that acting upon them *will* hurt the child and cause them suffering.
