No hope

BUT, people should be able to live where they want to and not have to move, just to get away from bad states. I still cannot believe that all 50 states could potentially have 50 different rules for registrants. Like some states allow easy removals and some like Florida, it is good luck with that attitude.
For me I do not want to move away from my family and live somewhere where I do not know anyone. But everyone has to make their choices. I was not born in Florida but will probably die here. My Father was in the military, and we moved every 2 years for 23 years and we have been in Florida ever since he retired.

Jacob you can apply for removal off the registry in FL from any state after 25 years, you do not have to live there and states like WV/UT/VT are extremely lenient when it comes to people on the registry you don’t have to look over your shoulder every second and worry about getting arrested and thrown into jail for yet another restriction they passed the day before
If your an outdoors man and like nature as i do WV was a great state to move to

they have filed a suit to get rid of the registration fee and things are cheaper here excluding the heat in the winter but things like rent are 1/2 what they are in FL

Don’t give anyone in the government the idea that sex offenders can be deported like criminals.

I moved to Colorado great life there btw ready im back is for my kid. His mom got on drugs. So came back florida im moving back after.

Keep immigration out of this discussion. Just as both political parties have advanced legislation banning Registered Persons from many aspects of a functional society, both political parties have “allowed millions of people into this country with no identification or visa.” Both political parties created problems with their public policies on many issues.

Crazy 88

You can contact FAC and if both of you agree, an FAC moderator can give both of you contact information. I did that once with the captain, but he died before we got to meet for lunch. I guess it depends on the FAC person if they want to approve it and of course it wouldn’t be posted on one of these feeds but in private.

Where did you move to if you mind me asking?

First, our sentencing standards seem badly misaligned. Whatever happens to be the political “flavor of the month” often receives harsher attention than crimes that are objectively more heinous. For example, a murderer with intent can receive a shorter sentence than someone convicted of sexual assault. That kind of imbalance makes the whole system feel disjointed.

Thurgood Marshall once wrote, “If the First Amendment means anything, it means that a state has no business telling a man, sitting alone in his own house, what books he may read or what films he may watch.” Yet under current sentencing practices, courts commonly assign about three years of confinement for every illegal image freely downloaded from the internet. At some point you have to ask: how much punishment is enough?

Why cannot we solve the single greatest question in Corrections – punishment or rehabilitation. That question is unanswered today but was unanswered in Corrections’ textbooks 60 years ago.

Meanwhile, if you read the news, legislatures seem to spend more time inventing new ways to punish sex offenders who have already served their sentences than they do addressing real public problems—bridges that need replacing, electrical infrastructure, poverty, homelessness, ordinary crime, corruption, and the ongoing failure of bipartisan cooperation.

I continue to be shocked by how much political energy is devoted to making the lives of sex offenders—and their families—more miserable simply because it helps politicians stay elected. I propose a bill that politicians be required to write a business case justification for public scrutiny for every new tax dollar spent on adding new sex laws to the already overburdened system (you can exclude this one).

At the same time, many school systems have eliminated civics classes. A large portion of the younger generation now has little understanding of what the Constitution actually says or how the founders intended it to be interpreted.

Frankly, if a legislator or judge spent six months in jail, they would think twice before casually handing out 10-, 20-, or 30-year sentences in cases where a misdemeanor might have been sufficient—especially for first offenders. Excessively long sentences often do more harm than punish; they trap men and women in a habitual criminal lifestyle. Long sentences look good in the press but damage people and their families long after the intent of incarceration is accomplished.
