Sorry, the end of paragraph 5 should read …are not to be treated less than human beings.

Paragraph 7 should read: Again we are technically not prisoners/inmates…

This is a very good point.

All RSO’s in Florida are required to register for life, regardless of the “possibility” that they can petition to be removed after blue zillion years. Ergo, no public housing, right?

“Underlying the Eighth Amendment is a fundamental premise that prisoners are not to be treated as less than human beings.”

Now Spain V. Procunier was about the treatment of prisoners when incarcerated within the Department of Justice but, isn’t the plight of our fellow citizens in Miami-Dade controlled by law? We cannot escape the requirement (and penalty) of Residency Restriction any more than a prisoner can just walk out of his/her prison cell to get a little fresh air.

We may not be prisoners in the literal since but we are still not permitted to join the rest of the free society to live work and play, just like a prisoner is not allowed the prison compound.

When SCOTUS gave the decision in Packingham, it refereed to Facebook as the new “Town Square”. Therefore (in the same line of thinking) we are still prisoners even though we are not behind bars. This decision must be determined by a judge in a court of course, but when you plead your case you must persuade the court that your argument is lawful. You “move” the court for any decision you would like it to have in your favor. The information contained in Spain v. Procunier given by Justice Kennedy in 1979 can be used to “move” the court to show how this case law notes that we should “…are not to be treated than human beings.”

We also find the use of the same above verbiage in Graves v. Arpaio, 48 F. Supp. 3d 1318 – Dist. Court, D. Arizona 2014 under the section titled: D. Eighth Amendment Standard for Medical and Mental Health Care. The paragraph states that “…Eighth Amendment requires that prison officials ensure that inmates receive adequate food, clothing, shelter, sanitation, and medical care and take reasonable measures to guarantee the safety of the inmates.”

Again, we are technically inmates/prisoners but yet we are treated as such. Should be not be afforded the same that the case law mentioned gives those who are behind bars. I see no difference between us (SO’s) and them (prisoner/inmates).

It does sound like a good idea, but it would have to be organized and we would need contributions of buses trailers etc….

I am all for our people getting up off the ground and into some sort of shelter over their heads. I just don’t know how. You do have good idea though if the law doesn’t put a squash on it.

I am beginning to wonder of the reason Ron Book is pushing so hard to demonize sex offenders then push so hard to move them out into distant locations far from the center of town, is to encourage vigilantes to harm and kill the sex offenders. And Ron Book is very likely to be a peodophile hiding in the closet who hasn’t yet been exposed.

Can we post the history from “Bookville 1 to Bookville V” so the media can pick them up and rewrite and point to Book for his action.
