Hundreds of California Sex Offenders Go Missing Under "Supervised Release" Program


I came across this article today which says “Hundreds of California sex offenders go missing under new law“. 
I thought what have they done now, let convicted sex offenders lose under the sequestration threats Obama made? 

However, this release turns out to be under a 2011 law that was put in place by the Democratic CA Governor Jerry Brown, but like the release of thousands of “low level” illegal immigrants recently released through the DHS and ICE, these sex offenders have also been equipped with GPS devices, which can be removed and disabled.

I wonder how many of those thousands of illegals that were recently released will remove their GPS tracking devices and how many more child abusers and convicted felons will be running the streets endangering Americans?

Fox News: “The number of paroled sex offenders who are fugitives in California is 15 percent higher today than before Gov. Jerry Brown’s sweeping law enforcement realignment law took effect 17 months ago, according to figures released Wednesday by the state corrections department.

The increase amounts to 360 more sex offenders whose whereabouts were unknown and who were not reporting to their parole officers last year.

An Associated Press analysis of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation data shows that 2,706 paroled sex offenders dropped out of sight in the 15 months since the new law took effect in October 2011, compared to 2,346 in the 15 months before realignment. The numbers were obtained by the AP before their public release.

That’s an average of 180 sex offender fugitives each month, up from 156 before realignment.

Attention has focused on parolees who cut off or disable their GPS-linked ankle bracelets, meaning that parole agents are unable to track their movements by satellite. Sex offender parolees are required to wear the tracking devices under Jessica’s Law, approved by state voters in 2006.[which CO recently voted against passing]

The governor’s realignment law sends lower-level offenders to county jails instead of state prisons and was enacted in part to conform to a federal court order to reduce the inmate population.

Before the law took effect in 2011, those who violated their parole by tampering with the devices could have been returned to state prison for up to a year. Now they can be sentenced to up to six months in county jails, but many are released within days because local jails are overcrowded.

Some county jails refuse to accept the parole violators at all.
