5. The problem is with recidivism
Once one is a sex offender the Megan's Law screws said offender over by restricting residency and requiring periodic registration. And of course sex offenders = felons, and once they're out of prison life for them is worthless as most businesses won't hire them. Amber Dubois's killer, John Albert Gardner III, was in prison from 2000-2005. Prosecutors originally wanted 30 years but Gardner plea bargained his way to 5. So the registry = worthless. Prison confines people who pose a threat to society.
