Either bite the fucking bullet and make them get life in prison or deal with the fact that once you do your time your a normal citizen again with a record and not to be penalized over and over again by additional laws.
Pretty simple way to look at things don't you think? I'm not opposed to them receiving longer sentences, but special conditions almost always apply when someone is released from jail. Some people have to remain in a certain State, visit their local police station daily, etc for varying lengths of time, have to partake in drug tests, etc. It's only commonsense that someone who, for example has a repeat history of heavy drink driving, when released from prison never be allowed to obtain a drivers license or legally drive again, no? So why wouldn't you carry similar conditions across to pedophiles preventing them from working with children, etc. Makes sense to me. I don't see jail as the be all and end all of punishment, and that we should treat a person exactly the same as an any other citizen as soon as he is released.
