Good article. I’m glad they included someone with a “sex offense.” As I have stated before, it will take a federal law to “trump” the byzantine web of local and state impediments to re-integrate into society. Until then, we are just pi$$ing into the wind.

Several years ago, I was denied a license to sell health insurance. Even though I had an Adjudication withheld they called it a case of Moral turpitude. So yes, stripped of an avenue of revenue once again. Allowed to work in the office basically doing similar work but could not hold the licence. Of course, cutting my income by 90%. They said try again in 10 years I guess that would make a difference. LOL.

If you can’t rebuild your life than what’s the point in corrections. Florida has been horrible for all felons. Truth is they don’t want people to move on or they’d be outta business. Look at the punishments. I have friends I’ve gone to school with that have been arrested more times than years they been alive and receive probation and couple months county time because they are idiots and easy to catch. I have friends they did less first time felon in 30s 40s and got a year or 3 in prison because they are smart and hard to catch. This is absolutely the way it goes. We’re commodities in that we are always suspect and have a completely different set of laws we have to follow hundred of them. Law and order my friends create more laws catch more criminals!

In reply to Pariah.001. Sad but true: death is not the end because there are hundreds, if not thousands, of deceased people still on Florida's registry. Talk about punishment to the end and beyond!

Death. When we die is probably the only way to be free from this form of endless oppression.

The sanctions are never-ending, especially for any offense that the powers to be consider as sexual in nature.
