I've got an idea where they can live.

But I get your point. Many years ago a friends from his home gun business got zoned out of existence...

How about 'the land of striped sunshine'. Some third world hell hole of a prison, where they are simply NOT RELEASED.
They say it's too expensive to keep them in prison; ok outsource it. Countries with an average income of a dollar a day don't spend a lot on their prisoners.

Interesting turn. Which offender should be further punished AFTER serving their respective prison term, the sex offender or the gun violence offender?

Just thinking out loud...

Good question!
Obviously no one should be punished after serving their term. But where they are still a danger to society they should be sentenced for n to life in the first place. That goes for sex and gun offenders.
It seems common sense to me; if someone has made no effort to rehabilitate themselves and spent their time in prison on drugs, gangs, plans to get hold of weapons illegally, or kiddie porn. Why let them out?
And this is my last comment as this is definately straying into areas I shouldn't have started discussing on this forum in the first place. Sorry.

True. But that also means they don't spend a lot on security. Also, there are prisons in south america for example that might as well be one giant criminal enterprise, like giant criminal think-tanks where gangs thrive and have an endless supply of new recruits.

Many sex offenders can not be "rehabilitated," they will continue to commit sexual offences on innocent people the rest of their lives. I'm not sure that some gun offenders can be rehabilitated either, but at least they usually don't pick on little kids when they do their thing...
