Why stop with 'dangerous sex offenders'?  Why not let the state keep dangerous drug pushers or dangerous drug additics or dangerous burglars or dangerous muggers or dangerous drunken drivers or dangerous shop lifters in prison indefinitely, based on the state's 'judgement' that the prisoner 'might' offend again? 

Yea, America's becomming the kind of country I want to live in - the kind of country I want my children to fight, and maybe die, for.

So you disagree with this? OK how about we let all the pedophiles and rapists stay at your house.

Some true 'fair weather patriots' suggest that, with my positon on this matter, the state should move these people in with me when released.  That's ok - so long as I live alongside true 'fair weather patriots'. 

I spent thirty years carrying a badge and by the time I retired my office wall was covered with newpaper articles of convicted sex offenders across this land being finally exonerated of the charges against them - because witnesses recanted their lies, their mistakes, by DNA tests, by confessions of the true criminals.  They were exonerated but not given back the years of life and freedom they lost in prison.  There ARE innocent people in prison - and to keep them there beyond their unjust sentences only compounds that crime.
