In the state of Missouri, the sex offender registry can be found through the Missouri State Highway Patrol website. A search of my home address revealed twenty-eight offenders reside or work within a two-mile radius and within a five-hundred-foot radius, there is one offender (Sex Offender Registry, 2020). The majority of twenty-eight offenders have been convicted of sex offenses against children. In Missouri, offenders are required to According to Elizabeth Letourneau (2018), victims of sexual abuse are faced with a higher risk of developing mental health issues like post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression within their lifetime, as well as, the possibility of chronic physical health issues like sexually transmitted diseases. Sex offenses are extremely intrusive, degrading, and humiliating for the victims. So yes, sex offenders need to treated differently. Society deserves to be protected from the offenders of these crimes that are living within their neighborhoods.

The life of a prison inmate is not a life anyone should want. Living in a confined space without the freedom to do what you want, when you want, or how you want would be a difficult situation to handle. One thing that is challenging for prisoners and correctional officers to handle is the informal development of gangs and the violence that comes from within those gangs. Currently, prisons for men and women in the United States are very similar. However, there are some challenges that women face when sentenced to prison. Particularly challenging for women that are incarcerated are pregnancy and childbirth. There are only very few prisons that have programs for pregnant women to give birth to their children and to be given the opportunity to keep that child in their care while they complete their sentences. A goal of these types of programs was to motivate the mothers to change the behavior that led them to prison and reduce the rate of recidivism. Another challenge for women is for those that are already mothers and have to leave their children in the care of another family member and sometimes foster care.

Should a juvenile offender become certified to be tried as an adult and found guilty, I do agree with the United States Supreme Court decision Roper v. Simmons (2005), banning the death penalty for offenders that were under the age of eighteen when they actually committed the crime. Also, in Graham v. Florida (2010), juveniles who have not committed murder may not receive a sentence of life without parole. Furthermore, I also agree with the decision in Miller v. Alabama (2012), which banned twenty-eight states from sentencing juveniles to mandatory life without parole for murder convictions. Finally, the age range of early adolescence, ages ten-thirteen, is when a juvenile should know the difference between right and wrong. However, there are factors to be considered to determine whether a juvenile in that age range knows right from wrong, such as mental capacity or learning disabilities.
