An article in today's Providence Journal describes the first time use of GPS tracking for convicted sex offenders in RI. The first man to be tracked in such a way is categorized as "Level III" (or highest risk of re-offending); every movement including when he moves out of his house to smoke a cigarette is detected via the device.
State law requires that all first-degree child molesters convicted after Jan. 1, 2007 in RI must be monitored.
The article says, "Though he’s completed prison and probation, the Parole Board plans to monitor his movements for many years to come in its role as Community Supervision Board. The board focuses on first- and second-degree child molesters considered at risk of re-offending."
