Occasionally I peruse the Utah Corrections website to see if anybody nefarious has moved into the neighborhood:

The low was 1 (ah the good old days), but today it is 12 within a mile.

They range from darn odd looking (the bald dude 2nd from bottom in right column) to relatively normal and grandfatherly.  One lives in the retirement community where the in-laws used to live, and I’d let my kids walk over to visit.  The offenses range from receiving child pornography to stuff I’d just as soon not mention.

Scary stuff.  I’m glad the state puts this info up but I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with it.  I guess it helps me to know the Scoutmaster or father of someone the kids might visit or play with is not on the list. But beyond that, any direction they go, within 1/4 mile, somebody is on the list.
