Sex Offenders will have nowhere to receive services after the proposed relocation and expansion of the only shelter which serves men in the town of Chapel Hill, NC, which is receiving $1.8M in taxpayer assistance (running total so far).
It's a complex issue being ignored in the most liberal town in NC, which doesn't care if sex offenders are forced to live in the woods, maybe behind your house.
Homeless man, sex offender, now has address: Prison (http://heraldsun.com/view/full_story/11369480/article-Homeless-man--sex-offender--now-has-address--Prison?instance=main_article - broken link)
HILLSBOROUGH -- A registered sex offender who couldn't find a place to live was sent to prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to failure to register as a sex offender. ... He originally registered as living at 100 W. Rosemary St., which is the address of the homeless shelter, but when he was no longer allowed to live there, he registered as living in an apartment complex in Carrboro.
RALEIGH, N.C. --A Downtown Raleigh homeless shelter is registered as the home of 40 sex offenders, but those sex offenders are not staying there every night. Convicted rapist Derrick Battle lists the shelter located a half mile away from Shaw University as his address. He is just one of 40 sex offenders who claim to live at 1420 South Wilmington Street.
North Carolina law requires all sex offenders "at all times, have an 'address' of some sort, even if it is a homeless shelter." All 40 sex offenders who are registered at the Wilmington Street Shelter report to the Wake County Sheriff’s Office.
Interesting thread. You don't often seen people taking up the cause of sex offenders and advocating for them.
If they've spent their time in jail or whatever, why are they still stigmatized?
They've paid their debt to society, haven't they?
They can't get jobs or a place to live.
Can you see how they might resort to crime to eat?
What do you want to do, just kill them?
Everyone in society, like it or not, deserves food, shelter and clothing.

Because most if not all of them cannot be rehabilitated. If let out of prison, they will go on to offend again and again.
They can get food, shelter, and clothing in prison for the rest of their lives, while helping to pay back society by working on chain gangs.
