The Michigan Senate Judiciary Committee met yesterday and forwarded SB 1027 to the full Senate. The bill is too restrictive of employment and voluntary service of persons convicted of criminal sexual contact.
The Department of Corrections released data as of May 31 proving they have lied for two years about the huge backlog of inmates waiting to take the sex offender treatment program.
Residency restrictions against sex offenders are the worst practice in sex offender management. The residency codes in Franklin and Dover drove half the public registrants underground or out of town before lower courts abolished this unconstitutional banishment practice. That exodus of public registrants forced surrounding towns to adopt their own residency restrictions in a climate of fear created by all that ordinance writing.
