Brilliant. They got three squares, a cot, heat and running water when serving their sentence. Turning them into street people sounds like a motivation to reoffend—traumatize another girl for life and get better living conditions.

Just brilliant.

Reader David, did you read the entire piece? That the guy’s own family in another state didn’t want him? That he’s fitted with a GPS tracking ankle device?

That sex offenders are the new ‘lepers’ of society that nobody wants? The only alternative is taxpayer expense to house these offenders in group homes.

Agreed. It is a real problem. Most homeless shelters won't accept sex offenders. They are very limited in being able to support themselves - who's going to hire a convicted sex offender? Even if they could afford a place to live, they are prevented from living in certain areas.
