Obviously they are useful, in destroying people’s lives, so how does this not work to aid in abuse prevention? Lots of people seem to care less if we kill ourselves for being on registry, well if these predatory corrections officers do the same, no loss in my book.

In Florida if you just look at a child cross-eyed you are designated a predator. These guards are the true predators and they should be so designated with their neighbors receiving written notice, as so many of us were subjected to.

I agree. I was also just stating that I didn’t see how the Registries were relevant to what Tereto said about “see how many continue with these kinds of acts”. I would assume that these officers won’t be employed as correctional officers again (regardless of Registry or not). So … how would they continue? Or perhaps Tereto is referring to putting these officers on the Registry and that will somehow deter others? Of course it wouldn’t. If people aren’t deterred by the threat of years in prison do people actually think they are concerned about being listed on a Registry? That is laughable.

Isn’t Tereto someone who fantasizes that Registries are useful? Might explain it.

If the charges are proven true, then when tried and convicted they should receive a harsher penalty as the guards were in a position of power and control over their victims, and their actions occurred under “color of law”. As an example to other corrections officers, they should serve their time in the same prison they worked at. Only when justice is applied equally will there be a change in the DOC. If you want someone to change their behavior they must be given a choice between the carrot or the stick, in this case I would prefer they get the stick.

They were sexual predators because they were engaging in sexually predatory behavior and were being permitted to carry on such behavior. That’s what I think the article means by this term.

And, as all of us on here know by now, there is a huge disconnect between who the state designates as a sexual predator and who is actually engaging in or seeking to engage in sexually predatory behavior.

What would a Registry have to do with any of it? I guess listing them will make them want to commit more crimes, including $EX crimes. So I guess if we want more crimes we should Register them. I guess we do want more crimes so we can lock more people up and more often. It is a business.

I know this is off topic but what is going on with the Ex post facto claim? A few weeks ago we hear the attorneys got some “good news” so what is happening? I be 50 in few more months and would like to live in peace

The showers where I was weren’t monitored as most aren’t. Naked women magazine pages stuck to the wall… yet guys came in wanting. Sigh.
