but the gang restrictions would be in effect only while the gang members are on parole.

That's stupid. The minute they're off parole, they're no longer gang members??

20 years post-release. Life if they re-offend.

Why not just kill em and save the time and money?

S’OK with me.

Pardon my lack of compassion and “feelin’s”

--what was the movie AAAhhhnnnnooollld was in where part of the prison security was a collar which removed the head of anyone stepping out of bounds?--That sounds good to me---

I understand the intent, BUT ... The worst gang leaders are those that remain in one place and send their gang members to go about the dirty work.

Would be better served if the conviction of a gang leader were a felony conviction of the entire gang, and place the GPS units on all the members. This way anytime two or more are located in the same place at the same time, it would be an automatic violation of the parole stipulation prohibiting parolees from being with other parolees, with the lone exception of when required by law enforcement.

Just keep them in prison forever.

good, very good idea. it is a start.

These ideas are stupid, as was Jessicas law. If you feel the criminal is still a threat to society they should either be locked up for life\til old age, or killed, period.

Any other alternative is allowing government and touchy feely types to experiment with policies in which we the lawfull citizens lose when they fail (and they do way more often than not).

There's already been a few fairly high profile instances where child predators have been released with monitoring provisions and they subsequently killed. Great, an "Oh, wow, it worked and we caught them", after they killed a little kid incident...

If there's a perceived need to monitor, then they're to much of a risk to release into society.
