Arkansas also keeps people NOT in their communities on the sex offender registry
According to this article, Arkansas also has something “funny” with it’s sex offender registry, We have long been reporting that Florida claims to have over 73,000 people on its sex offender registry, but fewer than half are in the community. MOST, in fact, are not in the community at all; they are incarcerated, deported, not living in Florida or are even dead!
The article states that, of the “16,049 people registered in Arkansas’ sex-offender database,.. more than 3,100 are incarcerated, about 3,400 are now outside the state, and 176 offenders have been deported.”
One must wonder what’s in it for the states to maintain such artificially inflated registration numbers and what public safety benefit is derived from diluting the list with thousands of people who are not even in the community.

States probably get money per head. They like to keep the jails and prisons overbooked for the same reason. State run rackets like that make you wonder if states can be investigated under the RICO act, or if government just keeps it on the books to avoid competition.
