Sex Offenders

[Scanker19]

Why do they let them out then make them join a list? I get the point but IIRC prison is to rehabilitate criminals.

If they are out, aren't they "fixed"?

It just seems to me that if you can't control yourself near a school you should be making big rocks into little rocks, or Dead.

I say let them have the choice: either go on the list or have their junk cut off and a tattoo on their forehead that says they are a sex offender.

One issue I have is that if you get in trouble for taking a leak in public (even just on the side of the road) you could end up on that list. I don't know if that is true but I heard it has happened.

Say what??! Our prison system is a messed up snafu.
All it really does is warehouse people in ugly conditions with the hope that they will try to stay out next time.
Our society hasn't made any meaningful effort to research what might actually work as far as rehabilitation goes, nor is it willing to spend $ to implement it.

My wife works with the county halfway house here. It's an institution that is at least nominally intended to do rehabilitation.
Still, it's a degrading place with almost no regard for human dignity. They deal out punishments as if the residents are grade school kids, and frequently don't take the time to figure out what actually happened before booting someone back to prison.
My wife figures they are lucky when 10% of the people are able to stay out, and that's not the kind of results I would boast about.

Personally, I feel that there should be some sort of grading system. Real rapists and child molesters; you gave up your right to breathe.

But it is a fact that many people who would have otherwise led productive lives have been destroyed by the sex offender label. The college student who was accused by a girl who didn't want to be thought a slut...afterwords. Pissing on a tree. These are but a couple of examples.

Boulder has been the most agressive city in the state going after such people, and I'm not sure that they are doing the right thing.

you can placed on the list just peeing outside
streaking
lots of things besides just sex

The list is for when a kid goes missing/someone in the neighborhood get raped, etc. They look up the list for likely suspects. It is for the exact reason you stated, because they know the prison system is a joke and that these people are still predators.

Need to clean up and clarify law, too many BS offenses can get you on the list.

Convicted child molesters and rapists need to be buried, IMO they can not be rehabbed(and should not be). There are studies that show as much, we as a society are to soft to enforce it.

Prisons as a place to rehabilitate criminals is amusing to me. Prisons are for punishment. Those who wish to rehabilitate will, those that don't will reoffend. Those who serve thier time and pay the debt to society should be released to live full lives. Those not deemed safe to be in society should not be let out and should be buried.

If little Johhny goes missing the first door getting busted down is Mr Pedro Bear so maybe it helps prevent it.

No ossifer, I don't know little Johnny.... sure you ain't looking for Billy? He's... uhh.... hangin' out in the basement.... Darnit....

you know, they have come up with a cure for Pedophilia.

With a small 50-80gr amount of lead and copper applied to the forehead ad high velocities.

100% "rehabilitation" rate.




I Agree that some of the "Sex offender" crimes are Bullshit.
Hes 18, shes 17 years 10 Months and 8 days...
Oh I dont want anyone to know I got trashed and slept with the whole team so I cry rape.
shit like that makes me want to vomit.

but yeah, if you are a single man with WAY to many stuffed animals and toys out in your living room, you and Jesus need to have a chat.
