2x the sex offense, now, get away from our town! Options

Even though, parents and communities are against having double and triple sex offenders living in their neighborhoods, it's pretty impossible to do anything about them without having congress pass a law. So basically, the law will state that multiple sex offenders will not be able to live within a certain footage of school grounds and wherever children are. However, do you all agree with this statment? Should sex offenders be banned from living near schools and "children infested" neighborhoods?

--- i think they should be closely monitored my the government, because since they've done it twice or three times already after they were convicted and put out of jail, what makes them think they won't do it again?

if congress were to impose these sorts of restrictions, they would undermine the whole point of prison (it's all too commonly forgotten that prison is not to punish, but to help deter the offender from recommitting the crime and rehabilatating them.)

i believe that once someone serves their sentence, they are clean, and i would not have a problem living next door to a known, convicted, and imprisoned rapist (so long as i wasnt in prison too )
