That is there (In my opinion) So they can justify the registry NOT being punishment. End of story.
I can throw some 20 dollar bills in my front yard and put up a sign that says “Do not take the 20’s” but do you think that will stop some people?

I asked my lawyer in Nebraska that question. He said Don Klein, the DA of Douglas County, is a coward and voters would oust him. Don Klein has been in his position for to long and should retire. I told my lawyer he should run for DA.

Why wasn’t James Fairbanks also charged with criminal misuse of the registry? Every registry has this little (and apparently toothless) disclaimer that says “This registry is not to be used to inflict additional punishment upon any offender listed herein.”

Does anyone think this provision is nothing more than window dressing to keep the human rights watch dogs at bay and to give the law an air of legitimacy?

Could it be charging and convicting people like Fairbanks of criminal misuse of the registry would be too much of a mea culpa that would make legal challenges to the registry on 8th Amendment grounds much more successful?

James Fairbanks will soon be a forgotten man.

I disagree. Executing someone does not punish them (Well they have to face God). I think doing time every day waking up knowing you have no privacy, crappy food, Beds full of crabs, not getting to see your family unless they come visit you for a few hours per month etc.
I think it is way more punishment to keep them alive. I made it through my time, however, if I ever got sent back, I think I would make them shoot me. I sometimes think the Health care in prison is worse than in North Korea.
Almost died until I got the Chaplin to call my parents, who hired a lawyer to get me help. I was hours from death. Doctor kept saying nothing was wrong with me. After lawyer called the head of the prison, doctors found I was in full liver failure.
So in my opinion, let the bastard wake up every day and say to himself “Well, Hell, this sucks”. And, he is also punishing his family by his actions.

Then you rescue a pit bull from the local shelter, you put a ball pean hammer in your back pocket or a chain with a pad lock attached. If you are approached by someone with unknown intent and you can’t create distance then you close distance and take away his gun advantage. It’s not your weapon or age that will save you it’s your tactics and situational awareness.

Have you tried holding the prison liable?
Anything that can be done to inflict financial or political damage on this system should be pursued aggressively. Even if you lose, they will spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money on defending their negligence. That can then be taken to the public and shoved down the throat of politicians. The system needs to be completely gutted, and you need to take advantage of leverage points to do so.
