Require registration for all sex offenders
Whether a person goes in front of a Judge, Jury or the Prison Board and are found guilty they should be required to register upon parole or probation as a sex offender. Not just putting the offense on their arrest record due to them being found guilty by the Prison Board.
Under California law, if the Parole Board makes some type of finding, this does not qualify as a conviction. A case would have to have been fully charged and adjudicated by a Judge in order for it to show up as a conviction. Administrative hearings do not qualify under the law. For public safety our elected officials/Governor need to change that law..
#1) If an offender is found guilty by the Prison Board/at an Administrative hearing they should be required to register as a sex offender upon their release to parole, probation and or no supervision (maxed out).
#2) and or have all sex offense cases that are committed while incarcerated tried by a Judge or Jury.

Why is this important?
If an inmate is caught sexually assaulting, sexually battering, assaulting with intent to commit rape they are arrested in prison, called an "In House Arrest" most of these cases are heard by the Prison Board/an Administration Hearing and a disciplinary action is handed out to the offender. The offense may be put on their arrest record, however, upon Parole or Probation they are not required to register as a sex offender.
