I agree. If we had confidence in our criminal justice system, the guilty would be sentenced accordingly. The problem is everyone got emotional after Carlie Bruccia and Jessica Lundsford(and rightfully so). But what happened was a 17th century witch hunt for people who have varying situations. You can push people away(NIMBY), but what does that solve. I saw the relaxing of sex offender laws coming. Its not “sustainable”.
And yes, I used to be one of the Florida probation officers that was forced to visit people under bridges and in the woods. Its not cost effective.
