Technically one is still in custody while on probation or parole. That lasts until the full sentence is served. All additional punitive actions by the state become extra-legal after the full sentence is served. That is a problem. The obvious solution is not to release them, not give the government greater powers that exceed the limits of criminal sentences.Prior to our Constitution, people lost all their rights when they got a death penalty. That doesn’t mean that the Constitution forbids it.
It has long been true in many jurisdictions that felons also lost the right to vote — permanently.
Again, why the fuck shouldn’t part of the penalty for commission of a crime include post release supervision like parole or probation? And why the fuck shouldn’t it include closer restrictions on the freedom of movement by the special felons convicted of sex offenses?
There is nothing in the Constitution to prohibit it. And frankly, I absolutely endorse it. I want to know if I need to be extra alert on behalf of my wife or any young kids when it comes to some scumbag child abused living in my town.
So why aren't all felons, or at least violent felons under similar restrictions? Those folks are just as dangerous, sometimes more so.
