I'm actually cool with that too. If we believe they will be repeat offenders, then at least a life sentence would be intellectually consistent with other laws. Or perhaps we could have a punitive sentence for punishment, followed by an indefinite time in a mental institution (I think we can safely classify a compulsion to molest kids as "crazy"), until some huge board of psychiatric uber-experts certify that the guy is really cured. If that means people serving 10 years for a sex crime followed by 20 years in an institution until they can convince the doctors that they are normal, so be it.
This practice of letting them out but giving everyone their address and picture so that they can be pariahs and possible targets for violence makes no sense to me at all.
