on 8/28/2008 Years ago, I was employed as a Correction Officer. Based on my experience, I can tell anyone reading this article that they should definitely do this themselves! The VAST majority of sex offenders with whom I worked were repeat offenders. Follow the instructions above ASAP, especially if you have children or are female and live alone. Great info!
