“Your Life on the List”: A Survival Guide for those Forced to Register Upon Release

Derek W. Logue of OnceFallen.com

Since 2015, OnceFallen.com has provided the Informational Corrlinks Newsletter (ICoN) and other prisoner outreach services. In an effort to provide numerous resources for prisoners, those new to life on the registry, and those potentially facing life on the registry (many of whom may not have access to the Internet), OnceFallen has compiled the best information from our website and past issues from the ICoN and created “Your Life on the List”, a registry survival guide.

Your Life on the List covers many of the most common questions those new to life on the sex offense registry may have. Topics include an overview of sex offense laws and terminology, finding housing and employment, travel issues, compliance checks, dealing with vigilantes, disaster preparation, and other issues a person may face while listed on the public registry. “Your Life on The List” also lists numerous resources for treatment, support, activism, and housing for Registered Persons.

In addition, “Your Life on The List” contains a comprehensive summary of sex offense registration, notification, proximity/ residency restrictions, and other laws a registrant may endure while on the registry. This valuable section compiles data from multiple resources and expand on it to offer the most comprehensive overview of the laws of all 50 state plus the US territories.

A free PDF version of the guide can be found at:

For those who desire a printed copy of “Your Life on The List”, the book can be ordered from Amazon.com for $12.95. The link to the printed copy is at:

All proceeds from sales of the print copy of the book go to Reset Missouri, an organization using the proceeds to establish residential housing for Registered Persons in Missouri.

Survival guide thats funny.
to all people forced to register the only survival guide you need is the terms of conditions you sign every year when you do your annual registration

@aero1
You must not be a registered citizen.. or if you are you don’t travel. You cannot travel to another state without studying up a little. Even a neighboring town, county etc. have different laws. Derek’s guide has a plethora of information directed at a registrant coming out of incarceration. In WI. we can E-mail our “handler” if we’re off paper and get decent information. Lot’s of states’ registrants do not get any help from the people who are “in charge” of registration. They can spend time making sure they are compliant and legal— or find help. Derek is giving help freely.

I skimmed through the PDF table of contents and it sure looks like it has some important information. I remember how hopeless I was the first few months after release. Something like this could be very helpful. Learning to maneuver life on the registry is indeed an art if you wish to remain reasonably content and sane.

What do we need a “survival” guide for when the authorities claim it’s not punishment? /s

The real trick is finding a way to live with all the second-hand HATE that is foisted upon us.

Life on the list….Today’s version of African American’s “Green Book” and the 1930’s German Anti-Jewish decrees.
Will we ever learn from our past mistakes?

Laura seems like each of us go thru these emotions or feeling changes. Will we ever learn, that is an open end question but yes we will all learn. Do authorities learn as those are the one’s that need to learn just as well as all of us or are many scared out of their wits at times with this who’s afraid of Baby Jane type ordeal or who is playing with dolls today if one would like to call it that today. My mom was a fan of Betty Davis and yes the movie was traumatic.

Are people actually playing with human lifes, look at the BLM and all this other corruption and even some person in the white house that has seen too many movies of “All about EVE in their harvard review’s of outstanding achievement. Maybe all men should learn to keeping their zippers up when they go out of the house or on an internet call drive or maybe Authorities ask to many obnaxious questions or try to shimmie ones brain to their standards. Even Ali wouldn’t go down without a fight.

Will we ever learn what? Killing in war, protests, setting up another, women getting jealous or men trying to pretend in this type of ordeal by presenting themselves of teenagers off the street. I’m sure many women understand how these authorities conduct these ordeals or they should be well informed. Its not my job to change anyone.What other people do is their business.

We all are just looking for unadultrated true justice in this world of suffering today. This registry Laura in many ways tops all in this Red badge of Justice or Who is in Harms way in this unorthodox type of Registry. Where do principals come in or where is the debate clause come in.

While you mentioned Jewish one wonder’s who was tired of the sacrifices of bulls. So in all Laura it comes down to loveing thy neighbor or is God and Government a thing of the past today. Does the registry show any love to those caught up in it or the family members. Where is the compassion today or mercy in many of these ordeals or is a plea deal the justice of today. Seems like many men are being sacrifices in all this sckulldugery in many ways.

People are over thinking this whole situation it’s not that serious if you plan to travel and you know your gonna be staying somewhere longer then 3 days to be on the safe side just register in the jurisdiction where your gonna be staying .
Stop stressing yourself out about things you have no control over.
And if your new to all this sexofender registery stuff all I can say is traveling is the least of your problems

Good luck

Derek, thank you. This is a tremendous amount of work and it is appreciated. It really is.

Thats a good step Jason. Now if Will Allen would tell them that he use to be a member of the Water Buffalo Lodge and just say No, but I’m sure everyone understands one’s position with all this confusion. One can’t understands one’s position until they watch the movie “guns of navarone” a few times, course their are many movies I hated to sit thru.

Never was much into war pictures but this was a good one.

Since coming to Janice’s forum platform, we on here, have wanted to try and correct all this registry upevil if one would like to call. Trying to hash all this out with views and comments that wavor at many times on the sublime mental state of the persons or person’s doing these operations. So who is doing the evil in many of these internet ordeals? Sure nothing wrong with prevention but are authorities preventing or perverting?

There is no temptation that is common that with the temptation God will provide a way out. So who is testing and who is tempting in much of this registry? The many angles and views on this forum are confusing in themself at times, even about this travel issue, who can be around their kids or these many other issues. One could talk about prison reform or do governments know their A’s from their Bee’s or who stings in this tale of moral/callous under penning or over penning?

Are we all under.. undue pressure, persuasion, or influence in much of this registry. Where is the stand your ground as in what Will Alan has made kown on here and yes that is a good stance and I’m sure everyone would want to stand their ground.

Sure we all have problems or are we all in a state of pillary or who has the answer to truth in this blind justice in these sex registry ordeals.

@king of living thanks to my just obey thinking iv never been to prison and never spent longer then 2days in jail in my whole entire life you know why because I’m compliant and i dont give LE anymore power over my life then they allready have.
As far as vigilantes go what’s the difference between a vigilante and a home intruder if someone comes to ur home to harm u or your family you have a right to defend yourself by any means necessary and with today’s technology you can set up some pretty decent home surveillance for cheap and document 90% of the harrassment and call the cops like a normal person.
In my opinion I do feel serent people should have to register for life and I think the new California teir law is a great opportunity and a major step forward in making that happen even politicians know how unfair and unsafe it is to group all sexofenders together in the same category
after 35 year’s on the register and all you been through you’d think you would know this by now

Good luck

@AERO1. You should apologize to that person or are we here to condemn others. One wonders how many “Run around sue’s” you’ve possibly been with, or was getting mixed up in this sex registry on your list of things to do. I think many hear out of one ear but don’t comprend out of the other. I’m not proud of what I did are you? Don’t you think you should say your sorry to king.

Hey we have all had our ups and downs. Some even have their ups and downs even when they are married and with this pressure that can come up its a bit more harder on them. While I hope things go well for king and his burden isn’t as bad as it may or might have been do we always know the rules and in’s and out’s of a one arm bandit slot machine.

Their was an old saying in a movie I watched a long time ago that makes a lot of sense even in the ordeal we are are going thru this quote is ” Get busy living or get busy dying”. So in many ways your thoughts were out of character on this platform so maybe Will Allen should throw you a few bars of soap.

I made a couple of error fixes and the latest version of the PDF version is available.

Please note: I’ve also been told that I can have edits submitted to the book any time since the Amazon service is Print on Demand, so the latest changes will be submitted regularly on any future changes to print copies to reflect the free PDF version I offer.

I have been doing prisoner outreach for a while now and this book is part of that effort.

Even at this low rate, prisoners may not be able to buy copies, so would anyone be willing to sponsor a project to buy copies of this book for indigent inmates?
