"Everyone knows the establishment does nothing to isolate SO's they do it to themselves. Restrictions on how they live their life is only for the period they are on street level supervison and most of those restrictions are in regards to children."
Not entirely true DP1. I remember people in group who had to call the PO EVERY SINGLE TIME they went anywhere. At least to check in. "Hey Im going to Burger King" or "Hey Im going to get gas for my car". These weren't exactly "predators" here we're talking about regular sex offenders with 1-2 offenses. Not the "stranger danger" type.
I remember in Minnesota the group people could meet after group for coffee which we did. It was a place to talk about things and have some friends. This was back when there weren't registries or the other stuff they have now.
Here in Arizona they cant socialize with another felon. So the one person "really" who can relate to them isn't allowed to talk to them. I remember thinking "why can't they go out to dinner" or something? I mean they're not plotting abductions or anything. Yet the probation system here (which is often for life) is overbearing and intensive. I have no problems with keeping track of these people but YES the system is keeping them isolated from other people.
Imagine moving into a neighborhood. Getting "fliered". Then trying to meet the neighbors. How "nice" do you think they'd be?
The restrictions regarding children are good and simple. The "other" things are what causes them problems. At least as far as I've seen.
