Do we really want sex offenders to live like wild animals?

Irreversibility is one of the reasons why capital punishment is bs.

Exactly. Spending years in jail for a crime they didn't commit is bad enough but if new evidence comes to light that proves their innocence they at least get the rest of their lives back.

They can't even get that if they have already been executed.

Ok, I mean obviously if some p.o'd 16 year old ex girlfriend is 1: immature enough, 2: dumb enough and 3: just plane reckless enough, to get an under/overaged ex charged with sex offender status then the system has failed.

When I say make their life hell. "Their" constitutes people as Thunder pointed out (minus the both underaged parties part).

If someone sexually forces themselves on another person, with no consent.

If someone exploits children for sexual gains.

Basically if anyone forces themselves or forces others to show themselves without consent. I constitute that as a sexual crime to be punished to the full extent of the law.

I understand that you can't punish some 19/16 yo kid who had a pissed off girlfriend or whatever. What I am saying is that, if said person is either A) a repeat offender, B) Sexually assaulted a child and something that is most important..C) PROVEN WITHOUT A DOUBT to have sexually assaulted someone. Then they should receive no quarter.

Don't draw this into some grey area argument. I stand by my judgement that in a black and white situation i.e.: Guy touches little kid, that the guy should be punished without mercy.

Yup, this has happened much to often to advocate the death penalty.

On the other hand false accusations of rape should also be seriously punished as it can instantly ruin a man's life.

Very much agreed with this

Note: I don't say that they should be executed. I just don't agree with this half arsed kick them out of society for x amount of hours whilst they're allowed to live under a roof (be it a friends or a motel, etc) for y amount.
