It means your son will be under supervision of the state of Kansas for the rest of his life after his release from prison.

In other words, he will be on probation type supervision for the remainder of his life. He will have to report to a PO and follow through with all the regulations set out for sex offender for the rest of his life.

I wonder tho, if he's released to IL and doesn't have to register in KS would he still be?

FL was lifetime on the registry but because I brought him home here to PA and he didn't have to register in FL he's 15 years on the registry.

Before I went to FL to get my son I emailed the sheriff department in Orlando and they wrote me back telling me that my son didn't have to register in FL because he wasn't staying there for 3 days. I have it in 'writing' just in case there are issues in the future.

Maybe you could contact your sheriff department as well.

I have seen the Registry referred to as "Special" Probation. Not exactly sure what that means. I can say that it is worse than probation!
Like your new avatar Nako.

I hope its only 15 yrs for your son to do probation.my hub got 18yrs to do done 5yrs so far . 13 more yrs to go !..sometimes it seems so slow .then times i see the yrs going fast .cause the days going faster.

Thanks CoolRich.. It looks just like my cat and she's just a bad girl, so it fits. ;)

Hurtingfam: the probation officer my son first saw said that 15 years is crazy for his crime and that he's so low risk. Next year, when all the jurisdiction is finally transferred up here, (still waiting for that), we're going to petition the court to have it cut back. We've been told they most likely won't but we should keep trying every year and have a paper trail to show for it. Eventually we're hoping to , at least , cut it in half.

Probation just sucks. My son wants to go places, but he has to get permission first and his PO isn't very accommodating. To have to answer to someone , when you've already did your time is crazy, especially for our guys. Seems SOs get a lot more probation time than any other group.

So when my son completes his four years he needs to get to Illinois within three days or he has to stay in Kansas? I know it's way to early but how is that done without tons of paperwork beforehand? And who will assign him a parole officer in Illinois?

Correct me if I'm wrong everyone, but I think you will need to contact corrections in Illinois to get them on board first.
