Noooooo!
I so totally do not have sympathy for them!!
In fact, I get really freaked out when they come in and we (my coworkers and I) will look people up on the local Sex Offenders list if someone seems too weird or something. In fact the only way we figured it out was one time this guy kept coming in and harrassing the 20 year old I sit next to. He kept mentioning he'd been in jail for NINE years and based on his totally creepy behaviour (and being bored and a little nosy) we looked him up and sure enough! there he was. Dudes, I almost lost my lunch.
I'm just saying, that they do suffer terrible punishment the rest of their lives, and sometimes they don't even make it out of jail alive. It's messed up all around.
