I hate being woken by Campus Safety. And now? Now I go down to the parking office. Remember me.

Read this /. article on sex offenders and tracking them with GPS for the rest of their life first.

Let's go over the reasons for imprisionment again:

• Punishment—Simply, "tsk, tsk, don't do that again." Frankly, a bad justification, as we are not three-year-olds.
• Deterrant—Obviously you ain't doin' a good job of deterring people if you cannot trust them to not do it again!
• Reformation—See above

This country really needs to take a long, critical look at its attitudes and policies towards sex, violence, punishment, love, drugs, and everything else. I pray we can get at least one slightly more sane law on the books from it.

KILL EM ALL! The system has to be reworked towards rehabilitation not deterrence or punishment. Though I gotta say from my criminal justice classes, sexual offenders are the most likely ones to revert. Can't say I agree with making sure the offenders are not "where they shouldn't be" but could help locate them if they do do something. Doesn't really matter though we can all be tracked with our phones.

Amen, man. Amen. Kill 'em all.
