Finally Saskatchewan Catches Up

It was announced today on the local televison stations that Sask Justice has released a web site for the local citizens of the province (and all of the internet community) to be able to access 'High Risk Offenders' who are likely to re-offend. The link that takes you directly to the list of names is: High Risk Offenders.

My niece Shar-Lee put it bluntly and to the point Its about damn time that Saskatchewan put something out for the people to be able to view information on these offenders.

Everyone should read the preceeding pages that lead up to the direct list of the offenders as well. It advises visitors of why the site was created, who is included on the site and other worthwhile information. I don't feel you need to go through the whole gamut of clicking on 4 pages just to get a view of the offenders everytime you visit the site. To read the worthwhile information on the Sask Justice site on the High Risk Offenders you should start at Sask Justice High Risk Offender Program

I would hope that this is only the start of what should be published. Now that Sask Justice has started the ball rolling, maybe they can continue on and list bios and pics of the top 10 offenders from the major police services (ie Estevan, Moose Jaw, Prince, Albert, Regina, Saskatoon, and Weyburn) and the provincial list for the RCMP (if there was such a thing ?). Then Sask Justice should flog the heck out of the media with the internet link so people can easily access it without going through page after page of searching.

Why should the criminals get to be hidden away and yet the poor folks that are getting the brunt of their deeds are out in the open?
