Sex Offenders

In a new report, the Government Accountability Office has found that in 2008, the State Department issued about 4,500 passports to registered sex offenders -- a figure the watchdog agency says is probably understated due to data limitations.
Can we make a decision, as a society? Are post-prison sex offenders safe members of society, or are they not? If they are not, then they need to remain in jail, so raise the sentences to life. If they are, then that's that -- not GPS ankle bracelets, not travel restrictions, not being repeatedly evicted from their homes.
