In Florida, it’s easy to tell where a sex offender lives because a big red sign declaring the fact is posted outside their home.

It’s just one in a set of life-long restrictions that sex offenders face in the US state without any chance of rehabilitation or being reintegrated back into society.

In another of her hard-hitting documentaries, Stacey Dooley investigates whether these laws protect children and if sex offenders should ever be given a second chance.

As well as meeting law enforcers and victims, she spends time at a camp which consists entirely of sex offenders and heads to an isolated settlement specifically designed to house these criminals.
