Parole agents rush to keep track of sex offenders after campsite eviction

STOCKTON, CA - The Stockton city government had a highly publicized eviction of homeless squatters at a shanty town down in Mormon Slough last week.

However, further down the Slough, by Jefferson and A Streets, a different campsite was quietly dismantled; it was the long time home to dozens of sex offenders.

"All of them, the 20 that were there, couldn't find housing that was compliant with Jessica's Law," California State Parole Delta District Administrator Julie Kaplan said. "Homeless shelters they can't go to, because they're family shelters with children and women. Some found businesses that gave them permission to stay on private property."

Kaplan said when transient sex offenders are evicted, the parole agents have to scramble to keep tabs on them.

1. A sick situation.

They carry a badge of dishonor forever, and cannot find a place to live or work. I am willing to bet that 30% of the took a plea bargain because they could not find a lawyer or could not afford one. With studies of other crimes, it is also likely that 40% may actually be innocent of the crime of which they were accused. Hell, in Illinois, before Ryan stopped the death penalty, 17 individuals were absolutely innocent. That means, they went thru a trial, a mandatory appeal, a writ or appeal to the supremes, and sentenced to death row. BUT INNOCENT.
