If you are going to release them, which I would not be in favor of, you ban them from all electronic devices. Any device that had "numerous sexually explicit messages and images" of children should be destroyed.
Problem solved.

I want to ask two questions here.
If you believe the prison system can change people and make them better, consider how you would live your current life without access to all electronic devices. Do you still think a flat out ban is reasonable?
If you don't think the prison system can bring about actual change then what do you believe the alternative is?
I think my question boils down to this.
Would you be willing to spend a portion of your salary for the rest of your working life to support a pedophile? That is exactly what would happen if they were cut off from all electronic devices or imprisoned for life.
