Washington Post Opinion Section: I know the term Kafkesque is overused, but I mean come on.
The Chicago Police Department forces sex offenders to violate their parole. I know that sounds crazy. I thought it was crazy when I first heard about it, but I’ve spent a lot of time in the last two weeks with sex offenders waiting — for hours and hours — outside police headquarters and watching a Kafkaesque process play out.

Well how about this, when somebody kills somebody and goes to prison and while in prison he is looked up to a little because he killed someone & if it was more he’s like a prince in there and the victims are never alive again, the sex offence (if it was a real offence)he does prison/jail time then probation then register for the rest of his life and putting not only him in danger but his wife and kids, which this law is supposed to protect and yet kids are being picked on and beat up because of it and it puts the family in danger everyday because of vigilantes might be waiting for him in there home to kill him, no offence to the victims that are alive but you are living and you can get through this with help but because it happened to you the person should pay for the rest of his life, what happened to reabilitation 2. there are cops who have committed a sex offence crime but they don’t register isn’t that convienient 3. you can’t live 2000ft from school or park where kids reg. gather but what about the neighbor kids I guess that’s different, who’s the smart one and who’s the dumb one we are letting them put law’s in that don’t work so they can make tons of money,wow
It is a classic case of scapegoating and society setting up tiers and subsequent societal punishment and shunning.
Those models are replicated throughout all sectors for the purpose of making ‘average’ people feel good about themselves.
Elected officials, inmates, prison industrialists, investors, profiteers and hate mongers alike feed on this stuff – make no doubt about it. And make no doubt that politicians and inmates have more in common that one could possibly imagine.
