Kentucky lawmaker introduces lifetime parole bill

Tuesday, 03 January 2006 19:00

Kentucky state representative Jon Draud (R), a former school superintendent, has filed an ambitious bill for the 2006 session.

House Bill 41 would require that lifetime intensive parole be required for many sex offenders, including GPS monitoring. Other provisions, according to the bill's legislative summary, include banning many alternatives to incarceration, requiring sheriff's departments to notify residents when a sex offender moves into their neighborhood, prohibiting sex offenders from living near schools and increasing penalties for various crimes, including advertising child pornography, currently a misdemeanor. "These people are never cured," Draud says, according to the Kentucky Post. "Sometimes they're able to control it, but they're never cured completely. It's not fair to children."
