Once upon a time, sex offenders in the city of Miami were released from prison, whisked away by probation officers, and dropped off at the Julia Tuttle Causeway where they were told it would be "home".
To live underneath the Julia Tuttle Causeway -- that was the legal mandate as a result of very tough residency restrictions instituted by counties like Miami-Dade and others.
But forcing sex offenders to live their days under a bridge brings up more than questions about human rights. There are questions about its legality, about what it means to be a "sex offender" in the United States, and even about how safe it really is to sweep sex offenders under the bridge of no return.
