They throw you in with inmates who have life sentences and have nothing to lose so what do they expect will happen. And I bet not a single person stepped in to help, even any guards. And the guards tell the inmates who the ones are with those charges. Safety is a low priority in most prisons.

“There is no meaningful difference between a criminal that committed a crime of sexual violence and a criminal that attempted but failed to commit that same crime”

So by this “logic,” an attempted suicide is the same as a committed suicide?

GTFOH

Correct. It was for convictions on, or after October 1, 2014. As I said, for most but not all sex crimes.

The DOC must not have applied it retroactively. I was released in July of 2015, and had been accruing gain time. I was released when I hit my 85%.

Seems that’s the common theme of many and much of this registry. I was not given or granted a judgement by my peers. If the truth be known we are all guilty
many offenses and many offend in thought and deed.

Government seems to lead in their ban wagon unethical ordeals that entice just like the devil enticing eve. So is fair branding one for life?

*I came across it within the law library at the time, haven’t been able to find it stated digitally.

Politicians do it every day. Are we the people or who forms a more perfect union. Seems the make up of much of this sex registry is a bit of a bearing the sword of unjust law in many ways.

I never went to court and I’m sure many wrapped up in this sex registry were brainwashed into a plea bargain which is unethical so is government playing by their own rules. Even keeping one under the registry for life is a bit of a game changer.

Many were never told that they would be under the registry for the rest of their life by this branding. Talk about banishment or unjust to one’s character. Sound like a political move to me in this registry system. So many would have to say the theme is the scheme of shaming another. Wonder if politicians understand that.

I believe it is 85%. HB 115 was filed this past session. It would have reduced minimum sentences for some from 85 to 65 percent. It died in the Criminal Justice subcommittee.
