It's increasingly common for the Feds to create so-called halfway homes and apartments in the middle of urban neighborhoods. These are places created to help prisoners serving the last six months or so of their term "transition" back to society. Supposedly the prisoners go out during the day and look for work and must return to the halfway house by dinnertime. The government tried, unsuccessfully, to put one of these down the street from our local elementary school.
You wouldn't believe the Federal sobbing on behalf of the poor prisoners "who just want to work". No concern at all for the people in the area with kids.
This used to be a child-centered country. No longer. If parents are more paranoid these days it's because we live in a society where the welfare of criminals is more important than the safety of kids.
