I think it's a good idea.

Sex offenders are experts in luring our kids. The farther away from our kids we keep them, the better off all of us will be.

Let's send a clear message to our government and to sex offenders.

i agree that kids need to be safe from sexual predators. they should do what they did in green bay. keep the sexual predators at least 2000 feet away from where children play(example like churches, schools and parks) you never know what is going to happen to them until it is too late.

I don't think there's any substance to the notion that inmates can get sex change operations in prison. Sexual reassignment surgery requires many preliminary steps before the actual reconstruction is done, one of the first of which is to take hormones and live as a woman for a year. That would be hard to do in a men's prison. I've heard that basic medical care is hard enough to obtain in prison, let alone anything complicated and elective. Don't worry about your tax money. It's being used to keep guys who were caught with two ounces of grass locked up.

Where do you all propose we "put" them? Has "Gilligan's Island" become available? I think if would be much better to have them scattered and watched than group them all together so they can collaborate better. Also, do you think that there should be more than one category level? There is a difference between a predator and an offender. I also agreed with the Fox 6 story recently about a registry for violent offenders of other crimes also, like murder and domestic violence... how comfortable would you be with a convicted murderer living downstairs or next door? Let's be real, as parents we also bear a burden to provide some supervision for our kids too, it isn't all about letting them outside and assuming they will be safe no matter what neighborhood you live in. Things happen everywhere.

Yeah right, whatever AJSB! The little time they do is hardly compensatory to the crimes they've committed upon their victims. And, the majority of offenders can't be rehabilitated.

More than half the states offenders are placed in Milwaukee once they're released from doing their time. How would you like your kids subject to being neighbors to these individuals? Do you happen to know the recividism rate amongst sex offenders?

The Bureau of Justice information is a bit outdated; however the latest summary findings in 1994 were: Of released sex offenders who allegedly committed another sex crime, 40% perpetrated the new offense within a year or less from their prison discharge.

its a good idea to put a restriction on anyone like that!
