MEADOWS The Daily Journal The State Department of Corrections has placed more paroled sex offenders in area motels, this time in Lake County. There are five sex offenders from outside of Lake County, currently living at the Lake Marina Inn in Clearlake Oaks on the state’s tab. Posted online According to at 7:18 p.m. DoC spokesman Bill Saturday Sessa, the state no longer pays to house paroled sex offend- ers released to their ukiahdailyjournal.com home counties, as it did when The Daily Journal reported six paroled sex offenders living at the local Ramada Inn last year at a taxpayer cost of more than $2,300 a month each. Because these motels are considered temporary housing, these sex offenders do not show up on pub- lic lists of addresses where sex offenders reside. Sessa said the new policy is that the state only pays the housing costs now for paroled sex offenders who can’t return to their home counties because the victims of their crimes have asked to have them placed elsewhere.
