“Al” was convicted of 21 counts of child molestation. He SHOULD have spent a LONG, LONG, time in jail.

I wonder how many years he served? Probably no where near enough…

I think that the “average” inmate in the United States serves about 40% of their sentence!

Our prison system SHOULD be designed so that inmates serve a lot more time in prison then they currently do. Once an inmate serves his or her sentence they should be released and should have an opportunity to re-enter society. If they convict similar crimes and are convicted a second time then they should SPEND A LOT MORE TIME IN PRISON.

Politicians seem to think that they can pass laws effecting child molestors after they are released from prison and that these laws will protect children.

Preventing a child molestor from living within 2500 feet of a park will in no way protect children.

The only way to protect children from child molestors would be something along these lines:

1. Ensure that child molestors serve at least 80% of their original sentence in prison. (Note I think all Offenders should serve at least 80% of their original sentence in prison). BUILD MORE PRISONS. DE-CRIMINALIZE victimless crimes.

2. Ensure that up to date databases are maintained informing parents about any convicted child molestors that live in the area.

3. Ensure (Via the police) that convicted child molestors who are in the above registries are tracked and are forced to keep their infomration current..

4. MOST IMPORTANTLY we need to change the definition of a “sex offender.” There are alot of people who are labelled as “sex offenders” who should NOT be. This must stop. I will list an example below:

a. If a boy who is three days short of his 18th birthday has consensual sex with a girl who is three days short of her 18th birthday NEITHER is a “sex offender.”
