registered **** offenders

[birdymaker]

I don't know about the rest of you, but having 2 children we have always kept a pretty close eye on the **** offenders list since it has been around. Over the years there have been a few in our neighborhood and it has always been good to know who they are and what they have been charged with.
 So the other day I am doing my periodic check and noticed that instead of the normal 20 or so in my zip code it has mysteriously grown suddenly to around 50. As i weed through them i notice all the new arrivals have the same address, a  drug treatment center which isn't even in my zip code. So i go to the neighboring zip that the
drug treatment center is in and there is another 70 new arrivals with the same address. That makes about 100 that showed up in a month. So i go to the State Dept. of Corrections website and start cross referencing the names and these guys were all paroled in the last month. 

I have corresponded with a reporter from the local newspaper (actually a large circulation, 213k) and she is supposed to be checking in to what is going on and why all these scum of the earth have showed up in our community. The majority aren't even from this county. So hopefully i will soon be able to link to a news story. My next stop is the city government.

This drug treatment center is right next door to a bowling alley, movie theater complex and Bally's fitness center all frequented by potential victims. To say the least my daughter won't be "dropped off" at the movie theater anytime soon.

So what i am saying is pay attention to what is going on in your community. No one else has your families best interest in mind.

That sucks. 

I'm surprised the city didn't make this "drug treatment centre" public knowledge.  What recourse do you have, if any?

I've looked at the lists in my area in the past and have concluded that the majority of the names on it are completely harmless people with questionable criterea as to why they're on the list.  Some of the 'crimes' are not even of a ****ual nature and only one step above spitting on the sidewalk.  Seems some of these list coordinators take things too far.

However, having a facility with 100 parolees close to a movie theater my daughter may visit - yikes!  Every right to be concerened there!

Cut back on their allowance.

I'm hesitant to comment on this at all. I live in a state where institutionalized, ACTUAL HOMICIDAL MANIACS escape from FIELD TRIPS to the State Fair.

So, we've got that going for us, which kind of sucks, actually.

I do have a question, which may or may not be followed by a comment:

Why is 'Drug Treatment Center' in air quotes?

Why is 'Drug Treatment Center' in air quotes?

Because drug treatment center is what they have always said they are. They have been in the area for i would guess 20 years. It appears their "New Focus" is to try and take the **** out of the **** offender and their new more profitable mission.

This is kind of a long story but our state economy tanked years before anyone else's so our state government is in bad fiscal shape. I won't go in to our governors fiscal policies. Anyhow, the guberment has decided the best way to cut spending is to close prison's and release the non violent offenders. Apparently Rape and child molestation are now considered Non Violent Crimes.
 We have what is called truth in sentencing here which means you must do the minimum time you are sentenced to, until this popped up. One of the guys paroled to this place was convicted of 14 counts of rape of varying degrees to which he plea bargained a 25-50 year sentence and got paroled in 18 years.
 Interestingly our governor is a woman and vocal supporter of releasing prisoners to balance the budget. Maybe a close encounter with a few of these guys would alter her way of thinking.

Don't forget all the folks who were arrested for child pröñ at the "treatment facility for ****ual deviants" here in this fine state.  Should I mention that the facility is on an island in Puget Sound and access to the island is controlled?

I believe that's where Seamus works.

Not saying there's a connection, just sayin'
