The purposes of these new laws are simple. Find a way to make it impossible for a sex offender to comply with his restrictions. Then we can lock him up again.

As you continue to make it harder for the sex offender to make the changes needed for his and society's sake, you risk the chance that they will completely fall off the grid.

If an offender finds it impossible to comply with demands placed upon him, he may feel that he has nothing to lose. If he arrives at this point then he is of the greatest danger to society. He will act out.

Remember those who pushed these laws with the intent to punish in such a way that there is no hope. You can thank them when a child dies that at the hands of someone who had nothing to lose.

I sincerely pray it doesn't happen.

You are right on that X. Unfortunately, America has become the land of the paranoid and home of the retarded.

People forget that taxes pay for inmates to be locked up, yet no on e wants to pay taxes. To save money, inmates will be released early, meaning that Jessica's Flaw is as worthless as the paper it was writen on.

Funny how the typical American didn't expect to have an increase of transient offenders.

Oh well. You get what you vote for without thinking of the outcomes.

A pilot program in Westchester County, New York, with emphasis on interfaith spirituality coordination might pave the way for greater impact on a positive direction for those who have been convicted of specialized offenses.
