The Constitution does not prohibit (1) long sentences in connection with serious felony child rape charges (the max you can draw in GA for aggravated child molestation is a life sentence, the same for just garden variety rape if you'll pardon the term) (2) supervised work-release instead of probation and just trusting that the little lamb will check in with his probation officer (3) involuntary confinement in a mental institution if this guy is "very dangerous and at serious threat to re-offend". It's pretty well established that these perverts who target very young children are not 'curable' and are almost certain to reoffend.
You have a problem with any of that?

You have a problem with any of that? #1 and #2, no problem at all. (There is no such thing as "garden variety rape", btw, or shouldn't be.)
#3 is ripe for abuse. President Ronald Reagan blasted the Soviets for locking up dissidents in mental wards (similar to what Solzhenitsyn related in his fictional book "The First Circle"), but if you're in favor of letting liberals deciding who's a threat to society and needs to be removed for that, then go for it and live with the results; I'd rather see everything handled under #1 and #2.
Or we just decide that there are folks to whom the Constitution doesn't apply. And be honest about it.
But I smell a rat. This guy stopped checking in 5 months ago and only NOW they're issuing a bulletin? Something else is up -- does the department need more money, perhaps?
