32. Cite please, for the "average ped has over 100 victims."
Your post makes it sound like prisons are coddling inmates convicted of sex crimes. That's not the case. Inmates are not supposed to know offense information of other inmates. Prisons don't go around putting up public lists of who got convicted for what--it's nothign special about sex offenders.

And, yes, if an inmate is endangered because he has been outed as a sex offender, it is the prison's obligation to protect him.

As for sex offenders being "allowed to just keep getting out," well, yes, that's what happens when you do your time. As for your acquaintance who is now out, why do you presume he will molest more? I suggest you look at the recidivism statistics for sex offenders; they're actually better than for many other offenders.
