The sex offender law recognizes that rehabilitation is not possible with sex offenders. Therefore, it extends their punishment beyond the specific time they serve to a type of continuing permanent probation.
It is not a problem at all. It is part of the penalty.

It is part of the penalty.I'm not sure how a law could do that without being directly tied to a sentencing law. Do you know if it works that way? In any case I don't see a problem with such laws even if they aren't penal, legally.
