Somebody mentioned that this man belongs in a halfway house. Well, where are most halfway houses located? Not in the suburbs. Why should I have this man in my neighborhood anymore than someone who wants or can afford a white picket fence lifestyle? Fuzzyturtle's remarks weren't racist--just realistic. My neighborhood has several halfway houses. The CT Sex Offender's website lists an inordinate number of ex-offenders in a few block radius to me. Unless I've missed something, there aren't newspaper articles and outrage every time another of these EX-offenders comes to Hartford. With that said, this man has done his time. If the prison industrial complex focused more on rehabilitating, not just on punishment, we would have much less to worry about. Most violent crime, rape included, is committed by someone who is acquainted with the victim. This isn't a condolence to the victims, but should tell people that generally speaking, their hysteria is unfounded and wasted emotion. Instead of worrying about what COULD happen, why not do something about crime that happens daily, like white-collar crime for starters? Race and zipcode go hand-in-hand.

That scares me, but it's also the reality. I'm a survivor. I wouldn't want this man living down the street from me. But even worse would be for us as a society to ignore the rule of law. Pollitt has served his sentence and he has to be released. Would I support a serial rapist being sentenced to life in prison? Yes absolutely. But unfortunately that wasn't Pollitt's sentence.
