Default Lie detectors required for N.J. convicted sex offenders

RENTON (AP) … New Jersey sex offenders are now required to take lie detector tests to make sure they are obeying the terms of their parole.

The state Parole Board instituted the requirement as part of a new
strategy to manage 4,500 convicted sex offenders who are under lifetime
supervision.

Captain Anne McGrath, who heads the state's Sex Offender Management
Unit, says 11 offenders have taken polygraphs so far.

Parole officers can impose restrictions on sex offenders, including
where they work and live, restricting their contact with minors, banning
them from using the Internet or engaging in online chats, and can require
them to wear GPS tracking bracelets.

Lie detector tests are used to make sure offenders are telling parole
officers the truth.

Experts say the tests also help counselors treat sex offenders, and help
parole officers identify high-risk situations.

While I would like to see anyone convicted of crimes of this nature killed right after the verdict I think they should of have put the Ankle Bracelet on them too

That's a great idea, if we can't figure out a way to prevent these types of crimes, at least we can control these people's actions in the hope that they won't be able to commit these crimes again.
