• But such paths to prosperity have largely evaded two rural communities that are poised to stake their economic futures on a less obvious growth opportunity: housing the state's sexually violent predators. Civic leaders in the San Joaquin Valley town of Coalinga and in the Imperial Valley east of San Diego are competing to house a locked hospital that will one day hold 1,500 of California's most dangerous serial rapists and child molesters. In campaigning for the first-of-its-kind state hospital, political leaders in both communities are venturing where few others dare tread. ... " The need for such a facility arose four years ago when California lawmakers approved a law allowing the state to keep violent repeat sexual offenders in a locked hospital beyond the ends of their prison sentences. In the search for a hospital site strictly for sexual predators, the state Department of Mental Health has had a few basic criteria. The community must welcome the hospital and it must also be home to a state prison, because guards from the prison will provide perimeter security around the hospital. ... Coalinga's biggest boon in recent years has been the opening of Pleasant Valley State Prison.
