SOMB Board Members

As you may notice, the Board is comprised of members with backgrounds and/or employment with Law Enforcement, Department of Corrections, Judicial System, SOTMP, etc. Other than the Private Defense Bar Representative and the Public Defender Representative, it certainly seems the odds are stacked against family and friends of sex offenders as well as those persons convicted of sex offenses.

As of December 2008
