Conditions of Supervised Release

No. 14-2787 United States of America v. Darrel W. Jones

“Convicted sex offenders tend to recidivate at a higher -than-normal rate. See McKune v. Lile, 536 U.S. 24, 33 (2002) (citing relevant studies). And “[m]ental health professionals seem to agree that accepting responsibility for past sexual misconduct is often essential to successful treatment.” Id. at 68 (Stevens, J., dissenting).
