Had I been given the choice, and known what I know now, I would have chosen more prison time over SO probation and SO registration. Sadly, that choice was never presented to me, yet I witnessed first-hand, men accused of statutory rape being allowed to plead down to child abuse and avoid the SO moniker. There is no justice.

I read the entire above mentioned article at http://www.vox.com/2016/7/5/12059448/sex-offender-registry
It seems to me the author presented a case good enough to go before the Supreme Court to have the registry deemed punitive and unconstitutional. Maybe if we get more constitutional judges appointed by the Dems, we have a chance SCOTUS will hear the case.

You don’t want to be jailed as a Sex Offender. I was made to wear a ID Tag that identified myself to my charges in Orange County Jail pending Bonding out. The imates as well as CO’s threatened me. yelled at me and it was horrible. So just imagine spending hard time in a Florida Prison as a Sex Offender. You will isolated until they can work you into the general populas. Your life will be threatened constantly. If does not matter the severity of your crime, a Sex Offender in Jail is horrible. So if you are free, on probation or parole and a RSO consider it a blessing. Saying Jail is better that being a Registrant is utter nonsense. jv

And none of us are ever given the choice, jail or register. It’s usually both and they aren’t asking us for any input. They put you on there right away whether you’re going to jail, prison, home or Piggly Wiggly. In Florida, not even Death can remove your name.
